Appendix B Line Monitoring Daemon> B.2 Configuration of the Line Monitoring Daemon

B.2.2 /etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/switch.conf

This file defines the logical device name of NIC aggregated by using Multipath method and the IP address of the switch connected to the NIC. When using the Line Monitoring Daemon, please be sure to configure this file.
The form of the entry is shown below. This file configures to one MPNET interface using one or more lines (the number of communication paths). The first line specifies a MPNET interface name, the logical device name of NIC, and the IP address of the switch connected the NIC. The logical device name of NIC and the IP address of the switch connected the NIC are specified after the second line.

interface-name

This indicates a MPNET interface name.
A MPNET interface name specifies an interface name defined by "3.2 /etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/config" file. Unique values must be specified in the same configuration.

lan-interface

This indicates a logical interface name which is aggregated by Multipath method.
An interface name is specified one interface per line. If two or more interfaces are specified per line, it may not behave normally.

IP-address

This indicates an IP address of the switch connected to above-mentioned lan-interface.
Please specify the IP addresses assigned to switches at the same network address as the IP address which the "3.4 /etc/opt/FJSVmpnet/conf/hosts" file defined.
Please indicate a logical device name and the IP address of a switch in order from the end to the end. In the case of "mpnet1" interface of "Figure B.5 Connection example of the Multipath Function," the first line indicates the MPNET interface name (mpnet1), the logical device name (hme1) of the NIC connected to the switch (3) and the IP address of the switch (3). The logical device name and the IP address of the switch are indicated from the switch (4) to the switch (6) in order after the second line. For example, the second line indicates the logical device name (qfe2) of the NIC connected to the switch (4) and the IP address of the switch (4).
