B.5.6 Example of the Cluster system (Mutual standby) without NIC sharing

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

The xx in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.

For the network configuration other than GLS, refer to "3.2.2 Network configuration".
For configuring the cluster system, refer to the Cluster system manual.
In this section, description of private LAN is omitted.
The dotted line indicates that the interface is inactive.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/hosts file. Note that it is not necessary to define an IPv6 address, which automatically allocates address by the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration feature.

fec0:1::1       v6hosta         # HOST-A/B Takeover virtual IP
fec0:1::100     swhub1          # Primary HUB IP
fec0:1::101     swhub2          # Secondary HUB IP
fec0:2::1       v6hostb         # HOST-A/B Takeover virtual IP
fec0:2::100     swhub3          # Primary HUB IP
fec0:2::101     swhub4          # Secondary HUB IP

1-2) Configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is 0,1,2,3) file as follows.

Note

The following setting example (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX) is for RHEL5. For details, see "3.2.2 Network configuration".

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
HOTPLUG=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
HOTPLUG=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

DEVICE=eth2
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
HOTPLUG=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3

DEVICE=eth3
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
HOTPLUG=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

1-3) When the system is RHEL, on /etc/sysconfig/network file, define a statement allows the system to load IPv6 module.

NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPV6TO4INIT=no

2) Reboot

Run the following command and reboot the system. After rebooting the system, verify eth0 and eth2 are enabled as an IPv6 interface using ifconfig command.

/sbin/shutdown -r now

3) Creating of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m d -i fec0:1::1/64 -t eth0,eth1
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha1 -m d -i fec0:2::1/64 -t eth2,eth3

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p fec0:1::100,fec0:1::101 -b off
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha1 -p fec0:2::100,fec0:2::101 -b off

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha2 -m p -t sha0
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha3 -m p -t sha1

6) Creating of takeover virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanethvrsc create -n sha0
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanethvrsc create -n sha1

7) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

8) Starting the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strptl -n sha2
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strptl -n sha3
