Depending on the number of NIC ports available, configure the network interfaces as shown in Table 1-5.
NOTE: The Oracle installer requires that the public interface name and the bond name for the private interface be
the same on all the cluster nodes. If the public interfaces are different, a workaround is to use bonding to abstract
the network interfaces and use this for Oracle installation.
Configuring the Public Network
If you have not already configured your public network, configure it by performing the following
procedure on each node:
1
Log in as root .
2 Edit the network device file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth# , where # is the number
of the network device, and configure the file as follows:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=<Public IP Address>
NETMASK=<Subnet mask>
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=<MAC Address>
SLAVE=no
3
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file, and, if necessary, replace localhost.localdomain
with the fully qualified public node name.
For example, the line for the first node would be as follows:
HOSTNAME=node1.domain.com
4
Ty p e :
service network restart
5
Verify that the IP addresses are set correctly by typing:
ifconfig
