Before placing the complete cluster into a pilot or production environment, you need to verify that applications and services are running correctly on the cluster.

To verify proper operations of applications and services on the new cluster, complete the following tasks:

  1. Temporarily connect a client computer to the same switch used by the cluster.

  2. From the client computer, verify that the applications respond to client requests as expected.

  3. Disconnect the client computer from the switch.
