Connect the VCS private Ethernet controllers.
Perform the following tasks as necessary:
■ When you add nodes to a two-node cluster, use independent switches or
hubs for the private network connections. You can only use crossover
cables for a two-node cluster, so you might have toswap out the cable for
a switch or hub.
■ Ifyou alreadyuse independenthubs, connect thetwo Ethernetcontrollers
on the new node to the independent hubs.
Figure 7-1 illustrates a new node being added to an existing two-node cluster
