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

B.8.4 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN (asynchronized switching)

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 fjgi1000          # fjgi1000 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".
prefix fec0:2::0/64 fjgi2001          # fjgi2001 sends Prefix "fec0:2::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

192.168.80.1    hostb    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.80.3    host81   # HOST-A Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.70.2    hostc    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.70.4    host72   # HOST-B Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.80.2    hostd    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.80.4    host82   # HOST-B Physical IP (Tagged VLAN interface)
192.168.70.100  swhub1   # Switch/HUB1 IP
192.168.80.100  swhub2   # Switch/HUB2 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.fjgi1000

host71

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi2001

host81

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

192.168.70.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.80.0    255.255.255.0

1-4) Create /etc/hostname6.fjgi1000 and /etc/hostname6.fjgi2001 file as an empty file.

1-5) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

fec0:1::1       v6hosta1   # HOST-A Virtual IP(1)
fec0:2::1       v6hosta2   # HOST-A Virtual IP(2)
fec0:1::2       v6hostb1   # HOST-B Virtual IP(1)
fec0:2::2       v6hostB2   # HOST-B Virtual IP(2)

2) Creation of IPv4 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m d -i 192.168.70.1 -e 192.168.70.3 -t fjgi1000,fjgi1001
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m d -i 192.168.80.1 -e 192.168.80.3 -t fjgi2001,fjgi2000

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option '-e' is the same IP address configured in /etc/hostname.fjgi1000 and /etc/hostname.fjgi2001.

3) Creation of IPv6 virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig copy inet6 -n sha0,sha0 -i fec0:1::1/64
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig copy inet6 -n sha1,sha1 -i fec0:2::1/64

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100 -b off
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha1 -p 192.168.80.100 -b off

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

Please define only one Standby patrol monitoring function.

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha2 -m p -a 02:00:00:00:00:01 -t sha0

6) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure fjgi1000 and fjgi2001 are enabled as IPv4/IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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

[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.fjgi1000

host72

- Contents of /etc/hostname.fjgi2001
