LAN Connection

Clusters using Ethernet interconnect require an NC3123 NIC installed into

slot 1 of each node before cluster software installation so that the cluster can

access a public network. These NICs must be on a different subnet from the

embedded Ethernet cluster interconnect. Multiple public network controllers

can be installed after cluster installation is complete. For a list of certified

NICs, see the Compaq High Availability website at

Clusters that use ServerNet I interconnect access the public network using the

embedded NIC. Each server must be connected to the same network.
