Hi,<br><br>I've aquired a few clusternodes that have multiple ethernet jacks. One the system-config-network applet I see several different adaptors (eg eth0 and eth1). Right now, I've got a many more free ports on my switch than I have nodes in my cluster, so I'm wondering if there's some performance benefit from hooking up the second NIC.
<br><br>Do any of you have a tutorial on multiple NIC's per compute node that you'd be willing to share? I'm assigning static IP's with named, and cocurrently maintaining /etc/hosts files on each machine with the full cluster map. Do I "just" assign a secon IP address for the second eth1 jack? Is there more to it?
