6.2.1 GLS Setup

For information on the initial GLS setup, see "PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function."

This section describes how to set up "Example of the Cluster system" of "Example of configuring NIC switching mode (IPv4)" that GLS (redundant line control function) provides. This procedure is described in the example below.

Note

Although it is possible to have "takeover network" for PRIMECLUSTER and "IP address takeover" for GLS on the same cluster system, you must not configure them on the same interface. If you do so, the communication through "takeover IP address" will be disabled.

For example, when you select 'eth1' for the interface when you set "takeover network" for PRIMECLUSTER, do not use 'eth1' for GLS environment settings (do not specify 'eth1' by using the '-t' option for "hanetconfig create" command).

When you need to duplex the interface for a takeover network, use "IP address takeover" for GLS. You cannot set "takeover network" for the bonding interface.

The setup values correspond to the values in "Setup (GLS_Monitoring Parameter)", "Setup (GLS_Virtual Interface)", "Setup (GLS_GS Linkage Mode Monitoring Destination Information)", and "Setup (GLS_Common Parameter)" of PRIMECLUSTER Designsheets.

Operation Procedure:

If the OPERATING node is [HOST-primecl01]

Setting up the system
1. Define the IP address and Host name in /etc/hosts file.
```
10.34.214.185   takeoverIP   # Virtual IP
10.34.214.181   primecl01    # primecl01 Physical IP
10.34.214.182   primecl02    # primecl02 Physical IP
10.34.214.188   swhub1       # primary HUB IP
10.34.214.189   swhub2       # secondary HUB IP
```
2. Specify the IP address defined in Step 1-1 above to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is either 0 or 1) file.
  - Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
```
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
HOTPLUG=no
BROADCAST=10.34.214.255
IPADDR=10.34.214.181
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.34.214.0
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
```
  Note
  If you specify "HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" in the settings for the physical interfaces bundled by GLS (the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file), add "HOTPLUG=no."
  Information
  Setting of "HOTPLUG=no" does not disable the PCI hot plug function.
  You can perform hot maintenance for NIC (PCI card) to the physical interfaces with "HOTPLUG=no."
3. When the system is RHEL, on the /etc/sysconfig/network file, define a statement which enables the network configuration.
```
NETWORKING=yes
```
Restarting
Run the following command and restart OS. After restarting OS, verify eth0 is enabled using the "ip(8)" or the "ifconfig(8)" command.
```
# /sbin/shutdown -r now
```
Setting a subnet mask
For the underlined parameter, specify the network address and the subnet mask of the virtual interface.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask create -i 10.34.214.0 -m 255.255.255.0
```
Check that the facility has been set up correctly.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask print
```
Note
For details on the subnet mask value, see "hanetmask Command" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function."
Creating of virtual interface
For the underlined parameter, specify the physical IP address of the node.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m d -i 10.34.214.185 -e 10.34.214.181 -t eth0,eth1
```
Check that the virtual interface has been set up correctly.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig print
```
Setting up the HUB monitoring function
For the underlined parameter, specify the IP addresses of the hubs to be monitored.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 10.34.214.188,10.34.214.189 -b off
```
Check that the facility has been set up correctly.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll print
```

Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

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

Check that the facility has been set up correctly.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig print

Creating of the takeover IP address (takeover virtual Interface)
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanethvrsc create -n sha0
```
Check that the registration has been done correctly.
```
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanethvrsc print
```

If the STANDBY node is [HOST-primecl02]

Setting up the system
1. Define the IP address and Host name in /etc/hosts file. Defined content is same as HOST-primecl01.
2. Specify the IP address defined in Step 1-1 above to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is either 0 or 1) file.

Post-setup processing

After the OPERATING and STANDBY node setup is done, create the Gls resources and register them to the cluster application.

For details, see "6.7.3.5 Setting Up Gls Resources" and "6.7 Setting Up Cluster Applications."

Then, start RMS and check the RMS tree to confirm whether the Gls resources are displayed correctly. For details, see "7.1.3.1 RMS Tree."

The Gls resource name is displayed as GlsX (X is integer).
