Troubleshooting
7-3
Access to Cluster Components
Once the physical connections have been checked, ensure that communication
is occurring between all the cluster components.
To test the Ethernet cluster interconnect and client LAN connections,
use the ping utility. From each cluster node, ping the Ethernet cluster
interconnect adapter or port located in the other nodes. Similarly, from
each cluster node, ping the name, then the address, of the client LAN
Ethernet adapter or port located in the other nodes. A correct ping
response from each node confirms that the Ethernet connections are
correct. For information about using the ping utility, see “Verifying the
Hardware and Software Installation” in Chapter 5, “Installation and
Configuration.”
To confirm that the shared storage is accessible to each cluster node, run
Secure Path Manager or Disk Management from each node. Confirm
that the same shared disk volumes can be seen from each node. If the
shared storage resources are not consistent across all nodes, refer to
Appendix A, “Diagnosing and Resolving Shared Disk Problems,” for
more details.
Software Revisions
The following software components must have the same revision level on each
of the cluster nodes:
Oracle8
i
Server with Oracle8
i
Parallel Server Option
MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem drivers
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Array Configuration Utility
Compaq Secure Path for Windows 2000
Compaq Ethernet OSDs
Cluster interconnect drivers
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Service Pack 1 or later
