You cross-posted this to the DNS group, but the question is about a 3rd
party cluster service.
But I'll try to help. Have you tried checking with GeoCluster's docs?

As for Microsoft's clustering, here are some articles and how-tos:

Re: Cluster network change
No worries, still just about the same steps. Take the cluster offline, do
your teaming magic, check your cluster out to make sure it got it. Start
everything and enjoy :) It will pickup the new names :)
Cheers,
