To test private network failures

  1. Open Cluster Administrator.
  2. Verify that there are at least two networks set up for internal cluster communication and determine which network has the highest priority for internal cluster communications.

    For more information, see "To change network priority for communication between nodes" in Related Topics. When you follow that procedure, Cluster Administrator will only list those networks that support internal cluster communication.

  3. If there are two or more internal networks, continue to step 4, otherwise stop here and do not continue.
  4. On one node, unplug the cable for the highest priority network identified above.
  5. In the console tree, click the cluster node and verify that the state of the node is still Up (that is, actively participating in all cluster operations).
