Re: Public and Private NIC's

Public and Private networks must be separate and distinct or cluster will
not recognize them...plus, they cannot be routed and you must route between
VLANS.

Fibre card? I thought we were discussing networking...unless this is in the
context of ISCSI?

Hi Check thanks for your message,

Next Question,

Would it be ok to run my private IP on the same network as our public IP,
it
is a highly available network with built in redundancy. We can provision
the
private IP its own VLAN which would isolate this traffic from the rest of
the
network.

We have thought about purchasing a fibre cardd for both nodes but it is
expensive!!

Your thoughts

Hi All,

Is it possible to run a cluster with only the public LAN interface and
not
a private LAN interface?

Cheers
Sameold
