2 node cluster
i am using a 2 node cluster with 9 IP's and 1 as a console
Hi Vikranth, How many NICs do
Hi Vikranth,
How many NICs do you have in each node? Two NICs will be reserved for private interconnect, while the other NICs are available for client connections. For each client-facing NIC, you will need 1 physical IP and 1 virtual IP, plus 1 additional IP for the console.
You are seeing this error message because the range of physical IPs and range of virtual IPs is overlapping.
For a 2-node system, each node having 4 NICS, 9 IPs should be sufficient.

have 4 NIC's
we have 4 NIC's and we are excluding two of them and when we use 9 IP's we are getting the Conflict error..
Let me know how to overcome this..may be i am using the wrong exclusions does it really matter as it says optional while installing...
when i tried without giving the PCI even though i am getting the same error
I'm assuming you have 4 NICs
I'm assuming you have 4 NICs per system. Why are you excluding 2 of them?
Consider the following example scheme:
2 nodes, 4 NICs per node - each using 2 NICs for private use, 2 NICs for client connectivity
You'd need 2 (nodes) x 2 (NICs) x 2 (IPs - 1 physical, 1 virtual) = 8 IPs + 1 for the management console
So assume the console will use 192.168.1.10, your physical range could be 192.168.1.11-14, and the virtual range could be 192.168.15-18.
Remember that the installer is asking for the START of the physical and virtual IP ranges. Using the example above, if you used 192.168.1.11 as the physical IP range start, and 192.168.1.13 for the virtual IP range start, this would be an overlap (the error you're seeing), because the physical range needs 4 IP addresses starting with 11.
hope this helps
Sean
