PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

3.4.1 Fast switching mode

The following shows the procedure for changing configuration information for Fast switching mode:

1. Inactivate the concerned virtual interface using the "stphanet" command. For information, see Section "7.3 stphanet Command".
2. Change the configuration information.
3. After changing the configuration information, activate the concerned virtual interface using the "strhanet" command. For information, see Section "7.2 strhanet Command".

The procedure to change the information of a monitoring function is as follows:

1. Change the information of a monitoring function using a "hanetparam" command. See "7.6 hanetparam Command" for the detail. In this case, it is not necessary to reactivate a virtual interface. The information becomes valid immediately after changed.
2. Reboot the system after applying changes.

The following lists the information that can be changed for Fast switching mode. No information can be changed besides the information listed below. Delete the concerned definition and add it again.

• Configuration definition information
  Use the "hanetconfig" command to change the following information. For information, see Section "7.1 hanetconfig Command".
  • Operation mode (Only RIP mode or Fast switching/RIP mode can be selected.)
  • Host name or IP address to be attached to a virtual interface or a logical virtual interface
  • Interface names to be bundled by a virtual interface
• Monitoring function information
  Use the "hanetparam" command to change the following information. For information, see Section "7.6 hanetparam Command".
  • Transfer path monitoring interval
  • The number of constant monitoring prior to outputting message
  • The number of constant monitoring prior to switching cluster
  • Timing of activating the virtual interface
  • Outputting message (monitoring the physical interface)
  • Switching cluster immediately after starting RMS

When the Solaris zone is used

If you want to use a virtual interface of fast switching in the Solaris zone, it is necessary to add the configuration as follows;

1. Stop the Solaris zone.
2. Inactivate the concerned virtual interface using the "stphanet" command.
3. Change the configuration information.
4. Change the network settings. For information on how to change the zone network settings such as virtual IP address, see "3.2.4 Zone setup for Solaris container".
5. After changing the configuration information, activate the concerned virtual interface using the "strhanet" command.
6. Start the zone.
