Chapter 6: Creating Scalable and Highly Available Web Sites
See the next section for step-by-step procedures about how to perform these required
IP configurations for using the ClusterCATS offline maintenance support feature.
Configuring offline maintenance support (Windows NT only)
Configuring offline maintenance support involves the following tasks:
1. Assigning a static IP address to each server's NIC
2. Removing Web site IP addresses from the NIC
3. Adding your Web sites' IP addresses to your Web server
4. Verifying that the server's host name is not the same as the Web site's name
Assigning a static IP address to each server's NIC
If your cluster consists of Windows NT servers, assign a static IP address to each
server's Network Interface Card (NIC) to take advantage of the ClusterCATS offline
maintenance support feature.
The static maintenance IP address that you assign to the NIC is independent of the IP
address that the Web sites residing on the Web server use.
To add a static IP address to your Windows-based Web server:
1. Click Start>Settings>Control Panel.
2. Open the Network icon.
3. Click the Protocols tab and select the TCP/IP protocol from the list of Network
Protocols.
4. Click Properties.
The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
