Adding Public Network Adapters

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, Oracle Solaris Cluster requires that they be configured in an IPMP group.

If your network uses jumbo frames, review the requirements in Public Network Hardware: Requirements When Using Jumbo Frames and see the documentation that shipped with your network interface card for information about how to configure jumbo frames.

Adding Public Network Adapters: Where to Go From Here

To add a new public network adapter to an IPMP group, see Chapter 1, Administering TCP/IP Networks in Administering TCP/IP Networks, IPMP, and IP Tunnels in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

Replacing Public Network Adapters

For cluster-specific commands and guidelines about how to replace public network adapters, see Administering the Public Network in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 System Administration Guide.

For procedures about how to administer public network connections, see the Chapter 2, About IPMP Administration in Administering TCP/IP Networks, IPMP, and IP Tunnels in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

For the procedure about removing public network adapters, see the hardware documentation that shipped with your node and public network adapters.
