On both nodes, add the public, private, and virtual IP addresses and host name to the
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file.
For example, the following entries use the adapter IP and host name as shown in Table 1-7:
172.16.170.1 rac1
172.16.170.2 rac2
10.10.10.1 rac1-priv
10.10.10.2 rac2-priv
172.16.170.201 rac1-vip
172.16.170.202 rac2-vip
NOTE: Because the private network IP addresses are not accessible from the public network, registering
the IP addresses with the DNS server is not required.
5
Ensure that the cluster nodes can communicate with the public and private networks.
a
On node 1, open a command prompt window.
b
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: VIP is configured later and cannot be pinged at this point.
6
Repeat
step 1
through
step 5
on node 2.
Verify HBA Settings for AX100
Ensure that the HBA connection mode firmware settings are configured properly for your storage
configuration.
• If your cluster nodes and storage system are configured in a direct-attached configuration,
configure the appropriate firmware setting for
Connection mode
as
0 - loop only
.
• If your cluster nodes and storage system are connected through a Fibre Channel switch, configure
the appropriate firmware setting for
Connection mode
as
2 - loop preferred, otherwise point-to-
point
.
