This procedure explains how to determine if the port type variable must be set and how to set this variable.
The port type parameter must be set to dial_in. If the parameter is set to hardwired, the cluster console might be unable to detect when a port is already in use.
If the numbers after the dash start with at least 9520, the port type variable is set correctly. Go to Step 4.
If the numbers after the dash start with 9519 or lower, you must change the port type variable. Go to Step 3.
