5-20 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide 9. Enter unique IP addresses and node names for each node in the hosts and lmhosts files located at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc. Record this information: G For the Ethernet cluster interconnect, one IP address and node name is for the redundant cluster interconnect, and the other IP address and node name is for the client LAN. For example, node1 for the client LAN and node1_san for the cluster interconnect. (The "_san" stands for system area network.) Due to the complexity of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and multiple-NIC servers, you need to verify that the correct IP addresses are assigned to the correct ports/NICs and that the Ethernet cables are connected to the correct ports. If IP addresses are not assigned to the correct port, Oracle software and external programs cannot communicate over the proper network link. The next step describes how to perform this verification. 10. Verify that the IP addresses for the client LAN and cluster interconnect are correctly assigned by pinging the machine host name. (Find this name by selecting the Network ID tab on the System Properties menu in the System Control Panel.) The IP address returned by the ping utility is one of the IP addresses you specified; it is the IP address that Windows 2000 Advanced Server assigned to the client LAN. 11. If the ping command does not return the IP address you specified in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box for the client LAN port and you are using Service Pack 1 or later: a. Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon in the Control Panel. From the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings. A list of Ethernet connections are shown. The first on the list is the Primary Connection. b. Select all protocols in the Show Bindings for scroll box. c. Click + (plus sign) next to the TCP/IP protocol. A list of all installed Ethernet NICs appears, including the slot number and port number of each. Windows 2000 Advanced Server uses the NIC at the top of the list for the client LAN. d. Change the binding order of the NICs to put the NIC you specified for the client LAN at the top of the list. Find the client LAN NIC in the list and select it.

9.
Enter unique IP addresses and node names for each node in the hosts
and lmhosts files located at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc.
Record this information:
G
For the Ethernet cluster interconnect, one IP address and node name
is for the redundant cluster interconnect, and the other IP address and
node name is for the client LAN. For example,
node1
for the client
LAN and
node1_san
for the cluster interconnect. (The “_san” stands
for system area network.)
Due to the complexity of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and
multiple-NIC servers, you need to verify that the correct IP addresses
are assigned to the correct ports/NICs and that the Ethernet cables are
connected to the correct ports. If IP addresses are not assigned to the
correct port, Oracle software and external programs cannot
communicate over the proper network link. The next step describes how
to perform this verification.
10.
Verify that the IP addresses for the client LAN and cluster interconnect
are correctly assigned by pinging the machine host name. (Find this
name by selecting the
Network ID
tab on the
System Properties
menu
in the System Control Panel.) The IP address returned by the ping utility
is one of the IP addresses you specified; it is the IP address that
Windows 2000 Advanced Server assigned to the client LAN.
11.
If the ping command does not return the IP address you specified in the
TCP/IP Properties
dialog box for the client LAN port and you are
using Service Pack 1
or later:
a.
Double-click the
Network and Dial-up Connections
icon in the
Control Panel. From the
Advanced
menu, click
Advanced Settings.
A list of Ethernet connections are shown. The first on the list is the
Primary Connection.
b.
Select all protocols in the
Show Bindings for
scroll box.
c.
Click
+
(plus sign) next to the TCP/IP protocol. A list of all installed
Ethernet NICs appears, including the slot number and port number
of each. Windows 2000 Advanced Server uses the NIC at the top of
the list for the client LAN.
d.
Change the binding order of the NICs to put the NIC you specified
for the client LAN at the top of the list. Find the client LAN NIC in
the list and select it.
