Hello,
I have a two node Win2K8 R2 Cluster that I am trying to build. I cant get the Private/Heartbeat network to work. Neither nodes will see each across the Private/Heartbeat nic. This has me totally stumped. Will layout the information as much as I can:
- Multiple VM Hosts Cluster - ESXi 4.1.0 Update 2
- Hosts using 10G Ethernet to Cisco Nexus 5K Switches connecting back to Catalyst 6K core.
- Custom VLAN on vDS for Private/Heartbeat Nics on both Virtual Nodes
- Network Team states the same VLAN is created on the "Physcial" Network at the core level.
- Private/Heartbeat IP Address for Node One: 10.255.255.1
- Private/Heartbeat IP Address for Node Two: 10.255.255.2
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Regular Public Network on both nodes works fine.
- Can ping fine across Public Network but not Private/Heartbeat, even when both are on same host.
This is all pretty standard as far as I am know? What did I miss? Completely in the dark why this isnt working. Have built hundres (really) of physical clusters. This is first virtual cluster.
Thanks,
