Hello Experts,
I am looking for your suggestions on below described issues with Multi-Site MSFC on 2012 R2.
We have 2 Physical Fujitsu Primergy BX920 S4 servers with CNA cards located both at different sites.
We have created 4 x Virtual NIC on each Physical server using OneCommand Manager. further these NICs are teamed.
Now we have 2 x NICs for each server as below.
NIC1 (VLAN-A IP-X.X.12.24), NIC2 (VLAN-B IP-X.X.20.10) for Node1
NIC3 (VLAN-A IP-X.X.13.24), NIC4 (VLAN-B IP-X.X.111.10) for Node2
VLAN-A is configured for Cluster Heartbeat without default Gateway.
VLAN-B is configured for Production and both NICs have Default Gateway.
While looking at Cluster Manager console for Network Component, we observed NIC1 is showing DOWN. and getting event in Event Logs as below.
Cluster network 'Cluster Network 1' is down. None of the available nodes can communicate using this network. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.
We have verified the network communication from NIC1 to Switch is working fine. The HeartBeat Network between both node is going through Switch only, there is no firewall.
We have tried to create static routes however both nodes, however while performing tracert to IP-X.X.13.24 from node1, The traffic is going through NIC2 (VLAN-B IP-X.X.20.10), where as it should go through NIC1.
Please suggest how can we troubleshoot it further.
