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

B.8.1 Example of the Single system without NIC sharing

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.

The dotted line indicates that the interface is inactive.

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 6) 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) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.70.1    hosta   # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.70.2    host11  # HOST-A Physical IP
192.168.70.3    hostb   # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.70.4    host21  # HOST-B Physical IP
192.168.70.100  swhub1  # Primary HUB IP
192.168.70.101  swhub2  # Secondary HUB IP

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

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

192.168.70.0    255.255.255.0

1-4) Create /etc/hostname6.hme0 file as an empty file.

1-5) 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

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 are enabled as IPv4/IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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

3) Creation of IPv4 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m d -i 192.168.70.1 -e 192.168.70.2 -t hme0,hme1

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option '-e' is the same IP address configured in /etc/hostname.hme0.

4) Creation of IPv6 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig copy inet6 -n sha0,sha0 -i fec0:1::1/64

5) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

6) 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

7) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

8) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

[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

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

1-4) Create /etc/hostname6.hme0 file as an empty file.

1-5) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/ipnodes file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 are enabled as IPv4/IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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

3) Creation of IPv4 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m d -i 192.168.70.3 -e 192.168.70.4 -t hme0,hme1

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option '-e' is the same IP address configured in /etc/hostname.hme0.

4) Creation of IPv6 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig copy inet6 -n sha0,sha0 -i fec0:1::2/64

5) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

6) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m p -a 02:00:00:00:00:01 -t sha0

7) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

8) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on
