Installation and Configuration 5-13 Figure 5-4 shows the non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect components used in a two-node PDC/O1000 cluster. These components include a dual-port Ethernet adapter in each node. The top port on each adapter connects by Ethernet crossover cable to the top port on the adapter in the other node. The bottom port on each adapter connects by Ethernet cable to the client LAN switch or hub.

Non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect using a crossover cable To connect two or more nodes in a non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect using an Ethernet switch or hub: 1. Install a standard Ethernet cable between an Ethernet adapter in one node and one Ethernet hub or switch. 2. Repeat step 1 for every other node in the cluster.

Figure 5-4 shows the non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect components
used in a two-node PDC/O1000 cluster. These components include a dual-port
Ethernet adapter in each node. The top port on each adapter connects by
Ethernet crossover cable to the top port on the adapter in the other node. The
bottom port on each adapter connects by Ethernet cable to the client LAN
switch or hub.

Non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect using a crossover
cable
To connect two or more nodes in a non-redundant Ethernet cluster
interconnect using an Ethernet switch or hub:
1.
Install a standard Ethernet cable between an Ethernet adapter in one
node and one Ethernet hub or switch.
2.
Repeat step 1 for every other node in the cluster.
