Designing the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200
2-35
DHCP
Only use DHCP for the clients; it should not be used for the cluster node
IP addresses or cluster resource IP addresses. DHCP cannot be used to assign
IP addresses for virtual servers.
When configuring DHCP, exclude enough static IP addresses from the pool of
dynamically leased addresses to account for the following:
■
Cluster node IP addresses
■
At least one static IP address for each virtual server
Migrating Network Clients
One of the first steps in assessing the impact of a clustered environment on the
network clients is to identify the various types of network functions and
applications that are provided to the users. It is likely that several steps are
necessary to migrate your clients to take full advantage of clustering.
File and Print Services
The main consideration for file and print services is the method clients use to
connect to the shared resources. If clients use batch files to connect to shared
directories on the server, the batch files may need to be updated to reflect the
new path name and, possibly, the new share name.
