Creating a Communication Path<br />

Before configuring an SPS communication path between servers, verify the hardware and software<br />

setup. See the Configuration section for requirements.<br />

Configuration Notes<br />

• You should configure no more than one shared disk comm path between servers.<br />

• Shared Disk comm paths are supported for two-server clusters only.<br />

• For greater than two-server clusters, use multiple TCP/IP comm paths for heartbeat<br />

redundancy. A priority value is used to tell SPS the order in which TCP/IP paths to a given<br />

remote server should be used.<br />

• IMPORTANT: Supported configurations require that you define redundant comm paths so that<br />

the failure of a single communication line will not cause an unnecessary failover. If a single<br />

comm path is used and the comm path fails, SPS hierarchies may come in service on multiple<br />

servers simultaneously. This is known as "split-brain". Additionally, heavy network traffic on a<br />
