I have the following config: Two SQL 2005 servers with ISCSI SAN. I am getting the following error on the cluster nics. Error: Cluster1 Unreachable. Any ideas what causes this. I am unable to ping th eother Server cluster IP from one another. (1) SQL 2005 Server NIC 1 - NET IP 10.9.30.14 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 10.9.30.1 NIC 2 - CLUSTER IP 10.9.31.14 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway (2) SQL 2005 Server NIC 1 - NET IP 10.9.30.15 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 10.9.30.1 NIC 2 - CLUSTER IP 10.9.31.15 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway
Try to ping the two servers from any client if ok ,check firewall and enable ping service. use command from server 10.9.30.14 run command: tracert 10.9.30.15 and vice versa. It should work
The only experience I've had with multiple NICs was with a server that had a working NIC and a faulty NIC, and the faulty one had to be removed to get the performance up to normal speed.
