The following table lists procedures about how to maintain cluster interconnect and public network hardware. The interconnect maintenance procedures in this section are for both Ethernet-based and PCI-SCI interconnects.

Physically adding public network adapters to a node in a cluster is no different from adding public network adapters in a noncluster environment. For the procedure about how to add public network adapters, see the hardware documentation that shipped with your node and public network adapters.
Once the adapters are physically installed, Sun Cluster requires that they be configured in an IPMP group. For the procedure on configuring an IPMP group, see How to Configure Internet Protocol (IP) Network Multipathing Groups in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.
If your network uses jumbo frames, review the requirements in Requirements When Using Jumbo Frames and see the Sun GigaSwift documentation for information about how to configure jumbo frames.
To add a new public network adapter to an IP Network Multipathing group, see the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide.
For cluster-specific commands and guidelines about how to replace public network adapters, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.
For procedures about how to administer public network connections, see the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide.
For the procedure about removing public network adapters, see the hardware documentation that shipped with your node and public network adapters.
To add the new public network adapter to a IP Network Multipathing group, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.
