To avoid a single point of failure, we are configuring an Oracle cluster
with two private NICs per node. They are directly attached via crossover
cable to its peer on the other server (two-node cluster).
How can we tell OCFS2 that it has available a second card?
Here is our cluster.conf:
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 10.10.2.1
number = 0
name = neo
cluster = rac
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 10.10.2.2
number = 1
name = trinity
cluster = rac
cluster:
node_count = 2
name = rac
Thanks,
Ivan

You can configure the two interfaces to be bonded into a single logical one in the kernel and OCFS2 will use that bonded interface, via its IP address, just like it would a typical single interface. A good place to start might be the kernel's documentation of this functionality. It mentions that some distributions have config files that help manage the bonded interfaces. lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt - z
