  • Page 17 Failure of the primary interconnect path results in intra-cluster communications occurring over the redundant dedicated interconnect path. When Cluster Server is configured to send intra-cluster communication over the LAN NIC as well, the cluster nodes will still have a working communication path even if one of the dual-ported NICs fails.

  • Page 22 This secondary controller is idle until a failure occurs with the primary controller. When you configure a controller pair on a Compaq server, you are providing an added level of network fault tolerance protection. A single NetFlex-3 driver instance controls both the primary and secondary controllers when the Advance Network Control Utility is installed.
  • Page 23 Creating a controller pair with the Advanced Network Control Utility is easy, and you can immediately view the results in the utility. A controller pair consists of two Compaq NetFlex-3 or Netelligent Controllers. The paired controller configuration provides connectivity over the network so that the network maintains operation even if a controller connection is lost or if one of the controllers fails.
