Configure Network Interfaces
When you add a server to the cluster, HP Clustered File System
determines whether each network interface on that server meets the
following conditions:
• The network interface is up and running.
• The network interface is multicast-capable.
• 802.3x Ethernet flow control is not used.
• Each network interface card (NIC) is on a separate network.
Network interfaces meeting these conditions are automatically
configured into the cluster.
HP Clustered File System ignores aliased network interfaces and does not
configure them into the cluster.
Overview
Be sure that your network configuration meets the requirements specified
in the HP StorageWorks Clustered File System Installation Guide.
Administrative Traffic
HP Clustered File System uses a local network for its administrative
traffic. It does not require exclusive use of this network; other site traffic
can also use it.
By default, HP Clustered File System administrative traffic is allowed on
all network interfaces. However, when you configure the cluster, you can
