High Availability Cluster Server Heartbeat Connections
The primary heartbeat connections between two HA cluster servers are made through a serial connection
and the LAN connections.
The serial connection is made using an 8-Port Asynchronous PCI Adapter or an optional 128-Port
Asynchronous PCI Adapter. The LAN connections are made using a pair of Ethernet, FDDI, token ring, or
ATM connections.
The following figure shows an HA cluster server using the 8-Port Asynchronous PCI Adapter and Ethernet
connections.
