1-16 Compaq ProLiant CL380 Software User Guide 4. Ensure the network client can access the IP address added in Step 2. From the network client, execute a PING command using the cluster IP address as the argument. NOTE: Regardless of whether you are using WINS or DHCP, you can execute the DOS command "PING" to check the connection. The client has successfully accessed the cluster resource if you get a response similar to: Reply from : bytes=xx time=xxxms TTL=xx. The client has not successfully accessed the cluster resource if you get a response of: Reply from : Destination host unreachable 5. Following the completion of the PING command, use Cluster Administrator to perform a manual failover of the cluster group that contains the IP address. 6. After the manual failover completes, execute the PING command again. 7. As soon as the other server node brings the cluster group online, a response similar to the one noted in Step 4 should be returned. If the client successfully accessed the failed over IP address, your cluster is working. If the client was unsuccessful, either the cluster group was not configured correctly, the failover did not occur, or the PING command was performed before the failover activity completed. NOTE: To verify a more extreme case, rather than fail over the IP address, power down the primary cluster server node and verify that the resource fails over to the other server node.
