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

D.2.3.2 Takes time to execute an operation command or to activate a userApplication

Phenomenon:

Takes time to execute an operation command of a Redundant Line Control function.
Takes time to activate a userApplication or to switch nodes at the cluster operation.

Cause and how to deal with:

When a host name or an IP address specified in the information of a virtual interface, the monitor-to information, etc. is not described in /etc/inet/hosts file, or when "files" are not specified at the top in an address solution of /etc/nsswitch.conf, occasionally it takes time to process an internally executed name-address conversion. Therefore, it takes time to execute a command, or for the cluster state to change. Check that all IP addresses and host names to use in a Redundant Line Control function are described in /etc/inet/hosts, and that /etc/inet/hosts is referred first at name-address conversion.
