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

D.2.1.1 A default gateway is not set valid

Phenomenon:

A default gateway defined in /etc/defaultrouter at activation of a system is not valid.

Cause and how to deal with:

The setting of a default gateway defined in /etc/defaultrouter is set in /etc/rc2.d/S69inet at activation of a system. At this time, when an interface of the same segment as that of the specified router, or when not activated, it is not possible to set a default gateway. In a Redundant Line Control function, a virtual interface is activated at activation of a userApplication in cluster operation. Therefore, occasionally not possible to set a default gateway.

Fast switching mode:

When using a virtual interface as a sending interface to a default gateway in cluster operation, change the timing to activate a virtual interface by a hanetparam command.

RIP mode:

It is not possible to user a virtual interface as a sending interface to a default gateway in cluster operation.

NIC switching mode:

When using a physical IP address takeover function, and also when not activating an interface in a standby node, it is not possible to use a physical interface as a sending interface to a default gateway.

GS/SURE linkage mode:

It is not possible to use a virtual interface as a sending interface to a default gateway in cluster operation.
