3.5.2 NIC switching mode

The following shows the procedure for deleting configuration information:

  1. Use the "hanetpoll off" command with '-n' option to stop the HUB polling feature of the virtual interface targeted for deletion. This command, "hanetpoll off" with '-n' option allows you to stop the virtual interface by specifying them individually. For information, see Section "7.7 hanetpoll Command".

  2. Inactivate the virtual interface of the concerned NIC switching mode using the "stphanet" command. To delete the operated definition in a cluster system, deactivate a virtual interface of the standby patrol using the "stpptl" command (only when using a standby patrol function). For information, see Section "7.3 stphanet Command" and Section "7.11 stpptl Command".

  3. Delete the concerned monitoring destination information. For information, see Section "7.7 hanetpoll Command".

  4. Delete the configuration information of the concerned virtual interface. For information, see Section "7.1 hanetconfig Command".

  5. Delete the following settings and files:

    When using IPv4 addresses

    [Solaris 10]

    Delete the corresponding /etc/hostname.interface file, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/hosts file.

    [Solaris 11]

    Delete the settings by using the ipadm(1M) command, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/hosts.

    When using IPv6 addresses

    [Solaris 10]

    Delete the corresponding /etc/hostname6.interface file, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

    [Solaris 11]
    Delete the settings by using the ipadm(1M) command, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

When a non-global zone with a shared-IP configuration is used

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

  1. Stop the non-global zone.

  2. Use the "hanetpoll off" command with '-n' option to stop the HUB polling feature of the virtual interface targeted for deletion. This command, "hanetpoll off" with '-n' option allows you to stop the virtual interface by specifying them individually.

  3. Inactivate the virtual interface of the concerned NIC switching mode using the "stphanet" command.
    If the logical IP address takeover function is set, disable a virtual interface of standby patrol using the "stpptl" command. (only for standby patrol)

  4. If you cancel network high-reliability through NIC switching in all non-global zones, return the method of deactivating a standby interface to "unplumb" using the "hanetparam -d" command. If you continue network high-reliability through NIC switching in the other non-global zones, do not return the method of deactivating a standby interface to "unplumb".

  5. Delete the concerned monitoring destination information.

  6. Delete the configuration information of the concerned virtual interface.

  7. Delete the following settings and files:

    When using IPv4 addresses

    [Solaris 10]

    Delete the corresponding /etc/hostname.interface file, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/hosts file.

    [Solaris 11]

    Delete the settings by using the ipadm(1M) command, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/hosts.

    When using IPv6 addresses

    [Solaris 10]

    Delete the corresponding /etc/hostname6.interface file, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

    [Solaris 11]
    Delete the settings by using the ipadm(1M) command, and then delete host names defined in the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

  8. Change the network settings of non-global zones or delete non-global zones. For information on how to change delete non-global zones, see "C.5 Configuration Procedure for Redundant Line Switching Mode on Solaris Zones".
