Deployment Guide 17

Ensure that the network adapters are listed in the following order:

Public

Private

NOTE: Click the up and down arrows to change the adapter order.

Click

Close the

Network Connections

window.

On both nodes, add the public, private, and virtual IP addresses and host name to the

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

file.

NOTE: Add the public and virtual IP addresses to the hosts file only if they are not registered with the

DNS server.

For example, the following entries use the adapter IP and host name as shown in Table 1-7:

155.16.170.1 rac1

155.16.170.2 rac2

10.10.10.1 rac1-priv

10.10.10.2 rac2-priv

155.16.170.201 rac1-vip

155.16.170.202 rac2-vip

NOTE: Registering the IP addresses with the DNS server is not required as the private network IP addresses

are not accessible from the public network.

Ensure that the cluster nodes can communicate with the public and private networks.

On node 1, open a command prompt window.

At the command prompt, type:

ping <

public_host_name

ping <

private_host_name

where <

public_host_name

> and <

private_host_name

> are the host names for the public and

private network adapters in the remaining node.

If the node’s network adapters do not respond to ping commands, check your network

configuration and then repeat this step.

NOTE: Virtual internet protocol (VIP) is configured later and cannot be pinged at this point.

Repeat step 1 through step 5 on the remaining nodes.
