Thread: How do I add a network connection to an existing Win2K3 cluster?

    How do I add a network connection to an existing Win2K3 cluster?

    I have a Windows 2003 cluster already built. For some reason, the secondary
    NIC for the private (heartbeat) network connection did not get added to the
    cluster. I am trying to figure out how to add it in. It is not a cluster
    resource, so I cannot add it that way. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I suppose, I need to figure out how to enable a network connection for
    cluster use.

    Thank you,

    Racer-D

    Are you using a cross-over cable? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q242430/

    Network cards just show up in the Cluster Administrator. They have to need
    to configure what kind of access. Do you see the NIC in Cluster
    Administrator?

    Cheers,

    need help

    I have a cluster with 6 network connections on each nodes
    2 network connections are used for the heartbeat.
    The problem is that in cluster administrator I can only see 1 on the 4 others network cards....
    Any idea how to add them in the cluster administrator ?

    Thanks

    Do you have multiple IP addresses on your NICs? Please don't tell me you're
    using 2 heartbeat NICs per node and have NIC Teaming configured...this is
    not a supported configuration.
