D.6.2 Example of configuration to ensure reliable networks in Oracle VM environment (Solaris 11)

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

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 4) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

[HOST-A: DOMAIN-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in the /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.70.1    domaina  # HOST-A Virtual IP of DOMAIN-A
192.168.70.2    domainb  # HOST-A Virtual IP of DOMAIN-B
192.168.70.3    hostb    # Virtual IP of HOST-B 
192.168.70.100  swhub1   # primary HUB IP
192.168.70.101  swhub2   # secondary HUB IP

1-2) By using the ipadm(1M) command, configure the settings with the interface to be used and the host names defined in step 1-1).

Interface to be used: net0

# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net0
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T static -a domaina/24 net0/v4

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file.
192.168.70.0 255.255.255.0

2) Creation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.1 -t net0,net1

Note

Ensure that the physical IP address that is specified to the option '-i' must be the same IP address that is set by the ipadm(1M) command.

3) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

4) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

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

5) Activation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

6) Starting the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

[HOST-A DOMAIN-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in the /etc/inet/hosts file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A DOMAIN-A.

1-2) By using the ipadm(1M) command, configure the settings with the interface to be used and the host names defined in step 1-1).

Interface to be used: net0

# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net0
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T static -a domainb/24 net0/v4

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A.

2) Creation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.2 -t net0,net1

Note

Ensure that the physical IP address that is specified to the option '-i' must be the same IP address that is set by the ipadm(1M) command.

3) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

4) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

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

Information

When multiplexing the virtual NIC (vnet) in the Oracle VM environment, specify 0:0:0:0:0:0 to the MAC address of the standby patrol. Therefore, the virtual MAC address assigned to the virtual NIC by the standby patrol will be used.

5) Activation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

6) Starting the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in the /etc/inet/hosts file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A DOMAIN-A.

1-2) By using the ipadm(1M) command, configure the settings with the interface to be used and the host names defined in step 1-1).

Interface to be used: net0

# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net0
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T static -a hostb/24 net0/v4

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A.

2) Creation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.3 -t net0,net1

Note

Ensure that the physical IP address that is specified to the option '-e' must be the same IP address that is set by the ipadm(1M) command

3) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

4) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

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

5) Activation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

6) Starting the HUB monitoring function

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on
