To set up the hardware
1
Connect the SFCFS private Ethernet controllers.
Perform the following tasks as necessary:
■ When you add nodes to a cluster, use independent switches or hubs for
the private network connections. You can only use crossover cables for a
cluster, so you might have to swap out the cable for a switch or hub.
■ If you already use independent hubs, connect the two Ethernet controllers
on the new node to the independent hubs.
Figure 18-1 illustrates a new node being added to an existing two-node cluster
using two independent hubs.

Make sure that you meet the following requirements:
■ The node must be connected to the same shared storage devices as the
existing nodes.
■ The node must have private network connections to two independent
switches for the cluster.
