Configure Networking

1. Do not use DHCP. Use static IP instead. To do this, modify the file

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to use your static IP and gateway,

replacing BOOTPROTO value “

dhcp” with “static”.

BOOTPROTO="static"

IPADDR=192.168.10.101

GATEWAY=192.168.100.1

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

2. Restart networking on the guest:

3. Ping the gateway (in this example, 192.168.100.1).

/etc/init.d/network restart

4. Ping the gateway (in this example, 192.168.100.1).

ping 192.168.100.1

Configure DNS Server

Set up the fully qualified names for all the nodes in the cluster (unless you are doing a

standalone installation, in which case one FQDN is obviously sufficient). Reverse DNS lookup

for the HP VSD nodes should also be set up.

Note: If the Service Records (SRV) for the XMPP cluster are not in the Domain Name

Server (DNS), the script will generate them. An administrator must then load them

into the DNS server. The XMPP cluster name is typically xmpp host in the domain,
