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

D.2.2.1 An interface of NIC switching mode is not activated

Phenomenon:

The following message is output and activation of an interface fails.

hanet: ERROR: 85700: polling information is not defined. Devname = sha0(0)

Cause and how to deal with:

In NIC switching mode, switching interfaces inside a node and between nodes is controlled using a failure monitoring function. Therefore, NIC switching mode does not work only by defining the information of a virtual interface using a hanetconfig create command. Necessary to set the monitor-to information by a hanetpoll create command. When the monitor-to information is not set, a takeover IP address is not activated either. Activation of a userApplication fails in cluster operation.
When using a logical address takeover function, and also when sharing a physical interface, necessary to have the monitor-to information in a unit of information of each virtual interface. In such a case, duplicate the information of a virtual interface and the monitor-to information that defined initially using a hanetconfig copy command and a hanetpoll copy command.
