PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Multipath Function (for Solaris(TM) Operating Environment)

3.7 /etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/hostname6

The IPv6 virtual interfaces to be associated with the MPNET interface configured in
"/etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/hosts6" file are defined. This specification can be omitted. This configuration is effective, when two or more logical IPv6 addresses are required (e.g. when using destination/source IP address distribution method of Multilink Ethernet method etc.).

The following configuration samples are provided in this file. Copy the line to be used from the sample to specify the configuration.

The form of the entry is shown below.

Each parameter is explained as follows.

interface-name(VIF)

The logical interface name over the logical interface of MPNET is specified.

The logical interface name is expressed by adding ":" and instance number (number of 1-255) to the MPNET interface name that specified in the "/etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/config" file.

hostname

This indicates an IPv6 address. In this setup, the IPv6 address is required.

The configuration example is shown in the following.

• This configuration enables activating and deactivating the TCP/IP interface using with the mpnet_ifinit6 or the mpnet_ifconfig6 command.
• The host name cannot be specified. Moreover, specification of an IPv6 address is required.
• When using a cluster system, the IP address takeover by the logical IP address is not supported. When using IP address takeover, it is necessary to use the takeover that used the IPv6 address of the MPNET interface.
