How to add a new network to an existing cluster?

Question

Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:15 AM

 How do I add a newly added network adapter to the cluster?

I have added a dual port nic to the nodes of a cluster and named them the same.  How do I get them to show up in the Failover Cluster Management Networks?  I have rebooted each node twice.

Thank you.

Configuration of the network supported by the new NIC must be seen as separate from networks cluster already knows about.  Run validation and select only the Network tests and see what the results are.

 It appears that you must provide an IP Address to the NIC on all nodes before it will be visible in Failover Cluster Management.
