Mother Board Change

Kranti Mahmudcom LTD — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 09:46:42 GMT

Hi All,

I have changed the mother board of a DL-580 server. The OS of the server is RedHat ES 4. There are 3 more servers with the same OS and all these servers has oracle cluster configured. Now, as I change the M/B, the MAC address will be changed as the LAN card is embedded with the M/B. Now can anyone suggest me, where or which files I have to edit by giving the new MAC address to make sure the cluster will be OK?

Normally the only files where the mac address are registered are /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.

Probably will be good if you disable kudzu.

chkconfig kudzu off

Which cluster suite you are using?

MAC is not quiet necessary for cluster configuration.

be sure that you have exact environment for cluster configuration.

>>> MAC is not quiet necessary for cluster configuration.

It's necessary because you must ensure that the right interface is used as interconnect or the nodes won't be able to comunicate.
