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

B.4.1 Example of the Single system

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

If the router monitoring function is not used, omit 4) and 6) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.70.2    host11  # HOST-A Physical IP (1)
192.168.71.2    host12  # HOST-A Physical IP (2)
192.168.80.1    hosta   # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.72.2    host21  # HOST-B Physical IP (1)
192.168.73.2    host22  # HOST-B Physical IP (2)
192.168.81.1    hostb   # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.70.254  rt11    # ROUTER-1 Physical IP (1)
192.168.71.254  rt21    # ROUTER-2 Physical IP (1)
192.168.72.254  rt12    # ROUTER-1 Physical IP (2)
192.168.73.254  rt32    # ROUTER-3 Physical IP (2)

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0

host11

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme1

host12

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file.

192.168.70.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.71.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.72.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.73.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.80.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.81.0    255.255.255.0

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 and hme1 are enabled as IPv4 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m r -i 192.168.80.1 -t hme0,hme1

4) Setting up the router monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.254,192.168.71.254

5) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

6) Starting the router monitoring function

The following is an example where monitoring is performed 5 times at the interval of 4 seconds, and if monitoring fails 6 consecutive times, the router monitoring function is stopped:

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on -s 4 -c 5 -r 6

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A.

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0

host21

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme1

host22

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 and hme1 are enabled as IPv4 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m r -i 192.168.81.1 -t hme0,hme1

4) Setting up the router monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.72.254,192.168.73.254

5) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

6) Starting the router monitoring function

The following is an example where monitoring is performed 5 times at the interval of 4 seconds, and if monitoring fails 6 consecutive times, the router monitoring function is stopped:

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on -s 4 -c 5 -r 6
