306 R400
Completing the TCP/IP Configuration of the Servers
This section describes how to complete the configuration of your primary and
backup servers and how to test your configuration. It assumes that your primary
server is called hsserva and your backup server is called hsservb.
For most information about configuring TCP/IP for servers, see the Installation
Guide and the Microsoft Windows documentation.
Single Network Configuration
In a single network configuration, both servers are connected on a single
network and have a single network card installed. The following figure shows an
example of a single network configuration.
Modifying the hosts File
The following procedures assume that the TCP/IP address of hsserva is 200.0.0.1
and the TCP/IP address of hsservb is 200.0.0.2.
To modify the hosts file:
1 Use a text editor to edit the hosts file. (Note: If you use Microsoft Notepad
to edit the hosts files, you need to remove the .txt file extension after
you save the files.)
