monitoring of 2 nic resources in a global cluster
hi all.
I'm using an application in a global cluster environment formed by 2 mini-cluster with one node each one, configured by a supplier.
this application is using 2 NICs: one for the LAN of the management of the servers and one for the LAN of the management of the network elements.
The supplier only configured a resource associated to the NIC of the management so, in case of a fault of this NIC the application can switch, while in case of a fault of the NIC of the network element the application freezes.
This behaviour is obviously unacceptable, but the answer of the supplier was: the application doesn't support this feature (2 NIC resources together, apart from the heartbeat NIC).
Is this possible ?
I know that you cannot know how the application works, but I think that the configuration of the NIC resources is totally indipendent of the application itself, in whatever way it works.
Is this correct ?
thanks in advance and BR
