B.7.5 Network configuration in the Solaris container (logical IP takeover)

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

The xx, yy in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 5) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

An example of configuring /etc/inet/ndpd.conf to use Solaris server as an IPv6 router is described below:
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 hme0              # hme0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Create /etc/hostname6.hme0 file as an empty file.

1-2) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

fec0:1::1       v6hosta    # HOST-A Virtual IP
fec0:1::2       v6hostb    # HOST-B Virtual IP
fec0:1::100     swhub1     # Primary HUB IP
fec0:1::101     swhub2     # Secondary HUB IP

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 are enabled as IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m d -i fec0:1::1/64 -t hme0,hme1

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p fec0:1::100,fec0:1::101 -b off

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m p -a 02:00:00:00:00:00 -t sha0

6) Change the method of deactivating the standby interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetparam -d plumb

7) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

8) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

9) Set up a zone

Set up a zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zonecfg -z zone0

9-1) Create a zone.

zonecfg:zone0> create
zonecfg:zone0> set zonepath=/zones/zone0

9-2) Specify an IP address that is allocated to the zone and the virtual interface name that is defined in NIC switching mode.

zonecfg:zone0> add net
zonecfg:zone0:net> set address=fec0:1::10/64
zonecfg:zone0:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:zone0:net> end

The host name of the IPv6 address cannot be specified for the zone network setting. If you use the IPv6 address, specify an IP address instead of the host name.
If you specify the redundant physical interface in NIC switching mode, specify the primary physical interface.

9-3) Check the above setting.

zonecfg:zone0> export

9-4) Check setup consistency.

zonecfg:zone0> verify

9-5) Register the setting.

zonecfg:zone0> commit
zonecfg:zone0> exit

10) Install the zone

Install the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 install

When a zone is booted for the first time after installation, the zone is in an unconfigured state. Therefore, it is necessary to define an internal zone configuration. Please refer to the manual of Solaris for the definition methods.

11) Start up the zone

Start up the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 boot
