Configuring Windows Networking

You must configure the public and private networks in each node before you install the Cluster Service. The following sections introduce you to some principles and procedures necessary to the networking prerequisites.

Assigning Static IP Addresses to Your Cluster Resources and Components

A static IP address is an Internet address that a network administrator assigns exclusively to a system or a resource. The address assignment remains in effect until it is changed by the network administrator.

The IP address assignments for the public LAN segments will depend on the configuration of your environment. If the IP assignments are set up correctly, all of the network adapter resources will respond to ping commands and appear online before and after you install MSCS. If the IP assignments are not set up correctly, the cluster nodes may not be able to communicate with the domain. See "Troubleshooting" for more information.

PowerEdge Cluster configurations running the Windows operating system require static

IP addresses assigned to hardware and software applications in your cluster, as listed in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1. Applications and Hardware Requiring IP Address Assignments

Application/Hardware

Description

 

 

Cluster IP address

The cluster IP address is used for cluster management and must

 

correspond to the cluster name. Because each server has at least two

 

network adapters, the minimum number of static IP addresses required

 

for a cluster configuration is five (one for each network adapter and one

 

for the cluster). Additional static IP addresses are required when MSCS

 

is configured with application programs that require IP addresses, such

 

as file sharing.

Cluster-aware applications

These applications include Microsoft SQL Server, Enterprise Edition

running on the cluster

Microsoft Exchange Server, and Internet Information Server (IIS). For

 

example, Microsoft SQL Server, Enterprise Edition requires at least one

 

static IP address for the virtual server. (Microsoft SQL Server does not

 

use the cluster's IP address.) Also, each IIS Virtual Root or IIS Server

 

instance configured for failover needs a unique static IP address.
