<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up IP addresses</h1>
<div><p>Because cluster resource services uses <em>only</em> IP to communicate
with other cluster nodes, all cluster nodes must be <var class="varname">IP-reachable</var>.</p>
<p> This means that you must have IP interfaces configured to connect the
nodes in your cluster. These IP addresses must be set up either manually by
the network administrator in the TCP/IP routing tables on each cluster node
or they may be generated by routing protocols running on the routers in the
network. This TCP/IP routing table is the map that clustering uses to find
each node; therefore, each node must have its own <em>unique</em> IP address.
Each node may have up to two IP addresses assigned to it. These addresses
must not be changed in any way by other network communications applications.
Be sure when you assign each address that you take into account which address
uses which kind of communication line. If you have a preference for using
a specific type of communication media, make sure to configure the first IP
address using your preferred media. The first IP address is what is treated
preferentially by the reliable message function and heartbeat monitoring.
All IP addresses on a node must be able to reach every other IP address in
the cluster. One address can reach another address if you can ping and use
a UDP message traceroute in both directions.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You need to be sure that the loop back address (127.0.0.1) is active
for clustering. This address, which is used to send any messages back to the
local node, is normally active by default. However, if it has been ended by
mistake, cluster messaging cannot function until this address has been restarted.</div>
