Troubleshooting Node-to-Node Connectivity
Problems
The following sections provide node-to-node connectivity troubleshooting.
Second Node Cannot Join the Cluster
• Check the cluster IP address resource properties to ensure that the cluster has a
valid IP address and subnet mask, and that the IP address does not conflict with
an IP address that is already in use on the network.
• If the cluster nodes use DHCP to obtain noncluster IP addresses, use ipconfig.exe
from the command prompt to verify that you have a valid primary IP address for
the adapters in question. If the second IP address listed is 0.0.0.0, then the
primary address is invalid.
Troubleshooting Shared Storage Problems
This section addresses potential problems arising from the use of the StorageWorks
storage subsystem as a shared storage device in a cluster. This section does not
address problems that are specific to the storage subsystem itself or to the use of the
storage system in a stand-alone server configuration. For those issues, refer to the
documentation provided with the storage subsystem.
