Chapter 3: Set Up and Configure an SHA Cluster Chapter 3: Set Up and Configure an SHA Cluster 3.1 Connect the hosts To achieve broader bandwidth for the cluster and Heartbeat connections, we recommend you to set up network interfaces as follows: • If you have four 1 GbE network interfaces available, set up dual-interface Link Aggregation for the cluster and Heartbeat connections. • If you have two 10 GbE network interfaces available, we recommend you use one as the cluster connection and the other as the Heartbeat connection. This section explains how to connect the hosts to create a high-availability cluster. 1. Use a network cable to connect the two hosts. This connection will serve as the Heartbeat connection between the two hosts and assist with communicating and copying data from the active (primary) server to the passive (secondary) server. This connection must meet the requirements listed in the Heartbeat connection section of Chapter 2: Required environment > System requirements > Network environment. 07

3.1 Connect the hosts
To achieve broader bandwidth for the cluster and Heartbeat connections, we recommend you
to set up network interfaces as follows:
• If you have four 1 GbE network interfaces available, set up dual-interface Link Aggregation
for the cluster and Heartbeat connections.
• If you have two 10 GbE network interfaces available, we recommend you use one as the
cluster connection and the other as the Heartbeat connection.
This section explains how to connect the hosts to create a high-availability cluster.
1. Use a network cable to connect the two hosts. This connection will serve as the Heartbeat
connection between the two hosts and assist with communicating and copying data from
the active (primary) server to the passive (secondary) server. This connection must meet
the requirements listed in the
