Configuring The Public Network Adapter - LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 RAID Controller Series 518 Hardware Manual

7.4.6 Configuring the Public Network Adapter
7-10
Select the network speed from the drop-down list. Do not use "Auto-
select" as the setting for speed. Some adapters can drop packets
while determining the speed.
Set the network adapter speed by clicking the appropriate option,
such as Media Type or Speed.
10. Configure identically all network adapters in the cluster that are
attached to the same network, so they use the same Duplex Mode,
Flow Control, Media Type, and so on. These settings should stay the
same even if the hardware is different.
11. Click on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
12. Click on Properties.
13. Click on the radio-button for Use the following IP address.
14. Enter the IP addresses you want to use for the private network.
15. Type in the subnet mask for the network.
16. Click the Advanced radio button, then select the WINS tab.
17. Select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
18. Click OK to return to the previous menu. Perform this step for the
private network adapter only.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use static IP
addresses for all network adapters in the cluster. This
includes both the network adapter used to access the
cluster nodes and the network adapter used to access the
LAN (Local Area Network). If you must use a dynamic IP
address through DHCP, access to the cluster could be
terminated and become unavailable if the DHCP server
goes down or goes offline.
The use of long lease periods is recommended to assure that a
dynamically assigned IP address remains valid in the event that the
DHCP server is temporarily lost. In all cases, set static IP addresses for
the private network connector. Note that Cluster Service will recognize
only one network interface per subnet.
