The clients and servers both have two nics connected to different switches using different subnets. The clients and servers both have their eth0 devices connected to the same switch on one subnet and their eth1 on a second switch using a second subnet.
They can talk to each other over the same switch or via routing between the switches. client eth0 <-same switch-> server eth0 client eth1 <-same switch-> server eth1 client eth0 <-via routing between switches-> server eth1 client eth1 <-via routing between switches-> server eth0 -- Andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of D. > Marc Stearman > Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 10:21 AM > To: Lustre Discuss > Subject: Re: [Lustre-discuss] How do you make an MGS/OSS > listen on 2 NICs? > > Isaac is correct, that you will only have one NID, and it > will be the only one pingable, however you should be able to > use both interfaces with your configuration.
