Architecture 2-25 The Ethernet adapters must have passed Windows 2000 Advanced HCT certification. NOTE: If you are using dual-port Ethernet adapters in a non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, you can use one port for the Ethernet cluster interconnect and the second port for the client LAN. Refer to the technical white paper Supported Ethernet Interconnects for Compaq Parallel Database Clusters Using Oracle Parallel Server for detailed information about configuring redundant Ethernet cluster interconnects. This document is available at www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers For detailed information about installing an Ethernet cluster interconnect; see Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration." Ethernet Switch IMPORTANT: The Ethernet switch or switches used with the Ethernet cluster interconnect must be dedicated to the cluster interconnect. They cannot be connected to the client network (LAN) or to servers that are not part of the PDC/O1000 cluster. When an Ethernet cluster interconnect is used in a cluster with three or more nodes, a 100-Mbit/second Ethernet switch is required for the cluster interconnect path. The 100-Mbit/second Ethernet switch handles the higher network loads essential to the uninterrupted operation of the cluster. An Ethernet hub cannot be used.

Architecture
2-25
The Ethernet adapters must have passed Windows 2000 Advanced HCT
certification.
NOTE:
If you are using dual-port Ethernet adapters in a non-redundant Ethernet cluster
interconnect, you can use one port for the Ethernet cluster interconnect and the second
port for the client LAN. Refer to the technical white paper
Supported Ethernet
Interconnects for Compaq Parallel Database Clusters Using Oracle Parallel Server
for
detailed information about configuring redundant Ethernet cluster interconnects. This
document is available at
www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers
For detailed information about installing an Ethernet cluster interconnect; see
Chapter 5, “Installation and Configuration.”
Ethernet Switch
IMPORTANT:
The Ethernet switch or switches used with the Ethernet cluster
interconnect must be dedicated to the cluster interconnect. They cannot be connected to
the client network (LAN) or to servers that are not part of the PDC/O1000 cluster.
When an Ethernet cluster interconnect is used in a cluster with three or more
nodes, a 100-Mbit/second Ethernet switch is required for the cluster
interconnect path. The 100-Mbit/second Ethernet switch handles the higher
network loads essential to the uninterrupted operation of the cluster. An
Ethernet hub cannot be used.
