v Use the same frame (location) number for both nodes when clustered
together in the same frame. You may be prompted during the installation
with a question for setting the second node. If you are setting the primary
node (Server A), answer No, if you are are setting the second node
(Server B), answer Yes.
4. When the RAS package configuration is complete on Server A, establish a
connection to Server B. To do so:
a. Disconnect the USB keyboard and monitor from Server A and connect them
to Server B.
Note: If you are unable to connect to the server using the above procedure,
see Appendix D, "Making a server connection through the System
Management Module (IMM)," on page 155 for instructions on connecting to
the server using the server's RSA and your service laptop or the TSSC.
5. Repeat steps 2 on page 86 and 3 on page 86 to configure the RAS package on
Server B.
6. When the RAS package configuration is complete on both servers, go to
"Verifying the cluster's Ethernet connections."
Before performing RAS verification, use the procedures below to ensure that the
Ethernet connections for the cluster are configured correctly.
Procedure
1. Use kudzu to run the command below and view the output to ensure that the
Intel Ethernet cards and Broadcom Ethernet cards are assigned to the correct
ports:
v For VTL systems, the Intel Ethernet cards should be assigned to ports eth0,
eth1, eth2 and eth3. The Broadcom Ethernet cards should be assigned to eth4
and eth5.
v For OpenStorage systems, the Intel Ethernet cards should be assigned to
ports eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5, eth6, eth7, eth8, eth9, eth10, and eth11.
The Broadcom Ethernet cards should be assigned to eth12 and eth13.
Enter the following command to check the Ethernet card port assignments:
[root@localhost ~]# kudzu -p -c network | grep -A3 "device:" <enter>
The output will be similar to the following example:
[root@chino ~]# kudzu -p -c network | grep -A3 "device."
device: eth0
driver: e1000e
desc: "Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)"
network.hwaddr: 00:15:17:df:8a:95

subVendorId: 8086
subDeviceId: 11bc
pciType: 1
