GLS provides highly reliable network communications for guest OSes. The following table shows the compatibility between redundant line switching methods and guest OSes.
Redundant Mode | Guest OS |
|---|---|
Fast switching mode | Y |
NIC switching mode | Y |
Virtual NIC mode | Y |
GS linkage mode | Y |
Y: Supported, N: Not supported
Note
When the Fast switching mode provides the highly reliable guest OS network in the cluster system, and if the both nodes are in the same physical device, failover between clusters due to a network error cannot be executed. Configure each node in the different physical device.
When using the virtual NIC mode, specify the MAC address to the virtual interface configuration file by using SHAMACADDR. For details, see "3.3.3 Virtual NIC mode."
For a tagged VLAN connection, specify the VLAN ID when setting the network adapter of a guest OS. A tagged VLAN interface is not necessary to be created on a guest OS.
When bundling the interface that was created by SR-IOV, use the NIC switching mode.
