B.6.8 Example of the Cluster system (Cascade)

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

The xx, yy and zz in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address 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.

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 6) and 9) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

Note

When using IPv6 address as a takeover virtual interface, it may take around 30 seconds to recover the communication after switching the node. In order to hold a communication instantly, start IPv6 routing daemon beforehand on both operating and standby nodes. For details on this issue, refer to "F.2 Troubleshooting".

Note

An example of configuring /etc/inet/ndpd.conf to use Solaris server as an IPv6 router is described below:
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

For Solaris 10

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 fjgi0             # fjgi0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

For Solaris 11

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 net0              # net0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

[Configuration by Cluster Admin View]

1) Configuration of userApplication: After completing step 9) of both HOST-B and HOST-C, connect to the administration server using Cluster Admin View, then setup the cluster environment.
To create Gls resources, select the SysNode compliant with HOST-A, HOST-B, and HOST-C. Once Gls is created, register the two Gls resources on the userApplication.
When registering on the userApplication, select the SysNode compliant with HOST-A, HOST-B, and HOST-C in the order of operation node followed by standby node. Then, register the takeover address "192.168.70.1 - fec0:1::1".

2) Starting of userApplication: After completing the configuration, start the userApplication to activate the takeover virtual interface on the operation node.
