cluster.
Troubleshooting the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 6-5
continued
Possible Cause
Improper name resolution.
Cluster Service is not running.
No network connectivity exists.
TCP/IP is not configured properly.
No IP connectivity.
Primary IP address is invalid.
Action
1. Data in the WINS or DNS
server may be incorrect for
the second node.
2. Ensure the proper cluster
name, node name, or IP
address is used.
3. Verify Cluster Name
resource has started.
Verify Cluster Service is running
on the first node before
attempting to join the second
node.
Check network connectivity.
Verify TCP/IP configuration on
both nodes.
Verify IP connectivity to the cluster
address. If unable to ping the IP
address of the cluster, run Cluster
Administrator on the first node.
Ensure the cluster IP address
resource is running.
1. Check the cluster IP address
resource properties. Ensure
the cluster has a valid IP
address and subnet mask.
Ensure IP address does not
conflict with an existing IP
address on the network.
2. Verify addresses are valid. If
DHCP is used to obtain
noncluster IP addresses, run
IPCONFIG.EXE to ensure the
network adapter cards have
valid IP addresses. If the
second IP address listed is
0.0.0.0, your primary
address is invalid.
