When prompted to search for a Network Adapter, load NIC drivers for both the intra-cluster and the
client LAN. Be sure to load the correct intra-cluster LAN driver version as specified in the
Configuration Guide for your cluster. If you are using two HP D5013A NICs, load the driver twice,
once for the intra-cluster NIC and once for the client NIC.
Make sure TCP/IP Protocol is selected.
Other protocols may be selected in addition, but TCP/IP is required.
If you are using two HP D5013A NICs, when prompted for TCP/IP Properties:
Make sure adapter [2] is highlighted and specify its IP address and subnet mask. This will be the
LAN adapter for the intra-cluster LAN.
Select adapter [1] and specify its IP address and subnet mask. This will be the LAN adapter for the
client LAN.
Set TCP/IP Properties for DNS, WINS Address, etc. at this time.
NOTE
The Client LAN IP addresses and Intra-cluster LAN IP addresses must be on different
subnets.
5.
Once the NT installation is complete, the D5013A NIC drivers must be manually set to the correct LAN
speed. Log on and from the start menu select: Settings, Control Panel, Network, and
Adapters. For each D5013A adapter, select Properties then Settings and set the network
speed to the appropriate setting (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) for your network. The intra-cluster LAN
should be set to 100 Mbps. Do not use the Auto setting.
