Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Setting Up a Private Interconnect
There are four ways to set up a private interconnect.
Ethernet direct connect
Ethernet direct connect using a private hub
ServerNet direct connect
ServerNet direct connect using a switch
Ethernet Direct Connect
An Ethernet crossover cable is included with your Compaq ProLiant Cluster.
This cable directly connects two Ethernet cards. Place one end of the cable in
the interconnect (Ethernet) card in Node1 and the other end of the cable in the
interconnect card in Node2.
IMPORTANT:
Place the cable into the interconnect cards and not into the Ethernet
connections used for the network clients (the LAN).
NOTE:
The crossover cable will not work in conjunction with a storage hub.
