I have 3 Vax systems running using CharonVAX.
They all need to access disks on a SAN.
I have been told that I need to cluster them using Ethernet but am unsure what I need to do in CLUSTER_CONFIG.
I believe I need to get the Ethernet address to enable me to do this but have no idea how I find this address.
Can anyone help?
Will show you your default MAC address (hardware LAN address).
But I don't recall ever needing to know that in order to cluster machines unless I wanted to make them share a single system disk as satellite nodes and downline load boot over the network using MOP or something.
Otherwise all cluster config needs to know is what cluster number and password you want to use for your new cluster and a few other simple yes or no questions. You just have to choose a cluster number that is not in use by other other already existing cluster on your LAN. Use the same cluster number and password on all machines in the cluster (happens automatically if they share the same system disk).
