Installation and Configuration 5-7 Ethernet Cluster Interconnect Adapters For a non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, install one single-port or dual-port Ethernet adapter into each cluster node. For a redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, install two single-port or two dual-port Ethernet adapters into each cluster node. For recommended dual-port and single-port Ethernet adapters, see the Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 Certification Matrix for Windows 2000 at www.compaq.com/solutions/enterprise/ha-pdc.html If you need specific instructions on how to install an Ethernet adapter, refer to the documentation of the Ethernet adapter you are installing or refer to the user guide of the ProLiant server you are using. Refer to the section "Cabling the Ethernet Cluster Interconnect" for more information about building an Ethernet cluster interconnect. Installing the Client LAN Adapters Unlike other clustering solutions, the PDC/O1000 does not allow transmission of intra-cluster communication across the client LAN. All such communication must be sent over the cluster interconnect. Install a NIC into each cluster node for the client LAN. Configuration of the client LAN is defined by site requirements. To avoid a single point of failure in the cluster, install a redundant client LAN. If you need specific instructions on how to install an adapter, refer to the documentation for the adapter you are installing or refer to the user guide of the ProLiant server you are using.
