hello
i have just set up a cluster and i made the cluster and the node1, but when i made the seconds node and tried to join the cluster, it wont let me join because of the below error
Error: Remote ping test failed when attempting to ping 169.254.16.212 from 169.254.220.187.
Verify that this node is cabled correctly and that the cluster interfaces are using ports on the internal cluster interconnect.
i have interconnect cabling connected between both e0a and e0b ports.
i will list the net int show and net port show results below
EVL_VM01::cluster> network int show

Trying to join cluster again as previous attempt failed ..Error: Remote ping test failed when attempting to ping 169.254.16.212 from 169.254.220.187.
Verify that this node is cabled correctly and that the cluster interfaces are using ports on the internal cluster interconnect.
To verify, run the ping command from the CLI to ensure each cluster interface can ping all others. For example, "network ping -lif <local cluster lif> -vserver Cluster -destination <remote node cluster IP> -verbose true -show-detail true".
Also, verify that the switchless cluster setting is properly configured for your cluster configuration with the (privilege: advanced) "network options switchless-cluster show" command. If the setting is incorrect, change it with the "network options switchless-cluster modify" command.
Resolve the issue, then try the command again.
i have the netmask and DFG set corrrectly so i am really confused
if anyone can help it would be more than appreciated
