Because of issues related to the broadcom nic and sles10sp2, I added an
Intel nic (e1000) to one of the nodes in a 6 node OES2 Linux cluster.

I deconfigured the old nic and assigned the new nic the same ip
address. After doing this, the server comes up and communicates fine,
but resources will no longer load on that node. They try to load then go
comatose. They load fine on the other nodes.

Running commands like "cluster view" or "cluster status" return the
expected output, so ncs appears to be loading correctly.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might have happened here or how I
might return this node to service?

What happens when the resources attempt to load on it? Any errors or
messages? You can execute the commands in the load script manually one
by one to see where the exact problem is.

my guess is that the resources try to bind an ip to the old nic. It
could be the new one shows up say eth3 and not eth0. It might be adding
the new ip address to the old card. Did you disable the internal card in
the bios?

look in the files /var/opt/novell/ncs/{resource}.load.out

also look thru the {resource}.load file and see what it does.

the files could be in a different location depending on your exact os.
