cluster.
or
One of the nodes fail to
join the cluster.
The node-to-node
network has failed due
to a cabling or
hardware failure.
Long delays in node-
to-node
communications may
be normal.
Check the network cabling.
Ensure that the node-to-node
interconnection and the public
network are connected to the
correct NICs.
Verify that the nodes can
communicate with each other
by running the
ping
command
from each node to the other
node. Try both the host name
and IP address when using the
ping
command.
One or more nodes
may have the Internet
