5-24 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O2000 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 an 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 NT 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.
