14 Preparing Nodes for Oracle Installation

DEVICE=eth2

HWADDR=00:1E:C9:4B:71:24

BOOTPROTO=static

ONBOOT=yes

IPADDR=192.168.0.141

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Once you have saved both the configuration files, restart your network

service using

service network restart.

The completion of the steps above have now prepared your system to

enable HAIP using the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installer. When you have

completed all the Oracle prerequisites and are ready to install Oracle, you

will need to select eth1 and eth2 as 'private' interfaces at the 'Network

Interface Usage' screen.

This step enables redundant interconnectivity once your Oracle Grid

Infrastructure has successfully completed and is running.

To verify that your redundant interconnect using HAIP is running, you can

test this feature using the ifconfig command. An example of the output is

listed below.

ifconfig
