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

7.3 stphanet Command

[Name]

stphanet - Inactivation of virtual interfaces

[Synopsis]

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stphanet [inet | inet6 | dual] [-n devicename1[,devicename2,...]]

[Feature description]

The stphanet command makes it possible to deactivate a virtual interface.

[Option]

It is possible to specify the following options:

[inet | inet6 | dual]

Specify an IP address form assigned to a virtual interface to be deactivated.

Inet inet6 dual

: IPv4 address : IPv6 address : IPv4/IPv6 dual stack configuration

When omitted, virtual interfaces of all forms are to be dealt with. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are deactivated at the same time in a virtual interface of dual stack configuration. It is not possbile to deactivate only an IPv4 address or only an IPv6 address respectively. Dual stack configuration in this case does not mean IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are set on each of the stacked physical interfaces, but they are set to one virtual interface defined in a Redundant Line Control function. This opetion is valid only in Fast switching mode (operation mode is "t") or NIC switching mode (operation mode is "d").

-n devicename1[,devicename2,...]

Specify a virtual interface name to be inactivated. Multiple virtual interfaces can be specified by delimiting them with a comma (,). Virtual interface names specified here must have been activated by using the strhanet command. If this option is not specified, all active virtual interfaces are inactivated.

[Notes]

• Virtual interfaces used in a cluster system cannot be inactivated with this command.
• Only logical virtual interfaces cannot be inactivated. By terminating virtual interfaces, related logical virtual interfaces are automatically terminated.
• When inactivating virtual interfaces and logical virtual interfaces, a high-level application must be terminated first.
• It is possible to specify this command to a virtual interface of Fast switching mode (operation mode is "t"), RIP mode ("r"), Fast switching/RIP mode ("b"), NIC switching mode ("d" or "e"), and GS/SURE linkage mode ("c"). It is not possible to specify to a virtual interface of a standby patrol function ("p" or "q") and GS/SURE linkage mode ("n"). A Standby patrol function ("p" or "q") is automatically deactivated when deactivated a virtual interface of the corresponding NIC switching mode ("d" or "e"). A virtual interface of GS/SURE linkage mode ("n") is automatically deactivated when deactivated a virtual interface of GS/SURE linkage mode ("c") that bundles this virtual interface.
• Be sure to use a stphanet command to deactivate a virtual interface. Do not use an ifconfig command to do the operation.
• A virtual interface of standby patrol set after activated NIC switching mode and activated by strptl command is not deactivated. Use stpptl command to deactivate.
• When a virtual interface of NIC switching mode is deactivated and only a virtual interface of standby patrol is activated, use stpptl command to deactivate the virtual interface of standby patrol.
• If the Solaris zone is using the virtual interface, you cannot deactivate it. First, stop the Solaris zone then deactivate the virtual interface by executing the stphanet command.

[Examples]

The following is an example in which all virtual interfaces (excluding virtual interfaces in cluster operation) defined in the configuration information for Redundant Line Control function are inactivated.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stphanet

The following is an example in which only the virtual interface sha2 defined in the configuration information for Redundant Line Control function is inactivated.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stphanet -n sha2

The following shows an example to inactivate all virtual interfaces of Fast switching mode or NIC switching mode and also in dual stack configuration.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stphanet dual
