3.4.2 NIC switching mode

The procedure to change the configuration information, and the configuration information and the other information at the same time is as follows:

  1. Stop the HUB monitoring function using "hanetpoll off" command. See "7.7 hanetpoll Command" for the detail.

  2. Deactivate a virtual interface to change using a "stphanet" command. See "7.3 stphanet Command" for the detail.

  3. Change the setup information and parameter. (This can be done when executing "hanetpoll on" command for changing the monitoring period, the number of monitoring times, the recovery monitoring period, the waiting time for cluster switching and a link-up.)
    See "7.7 hanetpoll Command" for the detail.

  4. Reactivate the virtual interface that was deactivated in step 2 by using a "strhanet" command. See "7.2 strhanet Command" for the detail.

  5. Start the HUB monitoring function to monitor the routers/hubs using "hanetpoll on" command.
    (Changes made to the monitoring period, the number of monitoring times, the monitoring recovery period, the waiting time for a cluster failover, and the waiting time for a link up are reflected when "hanetpoll on" command is executed.)
    See "7.7 hanetpoll Command" for the detail.

The procedure for enabling a change made on the monitoring information is as follows:

  1. Stop the HUB monitoring function using "hanetpoll off" command. See "7.7 hanetpoll Command" for the detail.

  2. Start the HUB monitoring function to monitor the routers/hubs using "hanetpoll on" command.
    (Changes made to the monitoring period, the number of monitoring times, the waiting time for a cluster failover, and the waiting time for a link up are reflected when "hanetpoll on" command is executed. For more information, refer to "changing configuration and additional information at the same time".)
    See "7.7 hanetpoll Command" for the detail.

The following lists the information that can be changed for NIC switching mode. No information can be changed besides the information listed below. Delete the concerned definition and add it again.

When a shared-IP zone is used

If you want to use a redundant physical interface of NIC switching in a shared-IP zone, it is necessary to add the configuration as follows:

  1. Stop the non-global zone.

  2. Stop the HUB monitoring function using "hanetpoll off" command.

  3. Deactivate a virtual interface to change using a "stphanet" command.

  4. Change the setup information and parameter. (This can be done when executing "hanetpoll on" command for changing the monitoring period, the number of monitoring times, the recovery monitoring period, the waiting time for cluster switching and a link-up.)

  5. Change the network settings of a non-global zone. For information on how to change the zone network settings such as virtual IP address, see "C.5 Configuration Procedure for Redundant Line Switching Mode on Solaris Zones".

  6. Reactivate the virtual interface that was deactivated in step 3 using "strhanet" command.

  7. Start the HUB monitoring function to monitor the routers/hubs using "hanetpoll on" command.
    (Changes made to the monitoring period, the number of monitoring times, the monitoring recovery period, the waiting time for a cluster failover, and the waiting time for a link up are reflected when "hanetpoll on" command is executed.)

  8. Start the non-global zone.

Note

  • In cluster environments other than the physical IP takeover II, do the following. For details on a cluster environment of the physical IP takeover II, see "B.4.10 Example of the Cluster system in Physical IP address takeover function II."
    [Solaris 10]
    Ensure to specify the same IP address configured in "/etc/hostname. interface" when specifying physical IP addresses by "hanetconfig" command using '-i' or '-e' option.
    [Solaris 11]
    Ensure to specify the same IP address configured with the ipadm(1M) command when specifying physical IP addresses by "hanetconfig" command using '-i' or '-e' option.
    When setting a cluster environment of the physical IP takeover II on Solaris 10, create "/etc/hostname.interface" as an empty file.

  • For NIC sharing and tagged VLAN (synchronous switching), in a configuration in which several virtual interfaces share a single physical line, physical interfaces are also inactivated when the last virtual interface is inactivated using the stphanet command.
