Basic Assumptions for Easy Installation

The following basic configuration assumptions apply for easy installation:

• The servers use private IP addresses 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 for monitoring.
• The private monitoring addresses are assigned to “eth1” interface in both servers.
• All default installation directories are used in the Linux Red Hat installation.
• The HeartBeat link is a simple Ethernet Cross Over cable linking the servers on their respective eth1 interfaces.

If you change this basic configuration, ensure that you know how to modify the configuration files properly for HeartBeat operation.
