Cables types for using hacmp

Hi John,

As far as I know, it is not certified use of p520 with rs232 and HACMP.
The alternative thing (I asked the same to IBM) is to have an 8 port
extension on each cluster node and use a rs232 network between two of the 16
RS232 ports.
Use of cross cable is not necessary (you can have a switch in the middle of
the two network connections) for eathbit, many times I consider it
"unsecure".
If you have the 8 ports you need an rs232 male male 25 pin to implement the
cluster.
In this way you have an additional network using serial cables that is
always a good choice.
