I am new to Veritas Clustering I am using Linux V6.2. The cluster is a 2 node cluster. Each server has dual public nics setup using Linux Binding configuration. So device bond0 is created on both servers. I am trying to decide which resource to use IP or IPMultiNIC, NIC or MultiNIC. I have research and couldn't find any doucmentation detailing under what circumstances you use either or. I am using VCS 6.1.

I discovered what was cauing the problem. It was the definition of the NIC resource NetworkHost; Old: NetworkHosts = { "160.254.104.61,160.254.104.66,167.113.104.31,167.113.104.62" } New: I just used one host. It appears thatusing hares to add multiple host the NetworkHost results in the host being delimited only by commans not each address separated by comas and double quotes. I tested by removing all host bu one and the group came up without issue. Next I will manually modify the file separating them by double quotes and comma to see if the multiple host works. I will let everyone know. NetworkHosts = { "160.254.104.61" }

The VCS Bundled agent guide describes the options as well as configuration examples.

I have read the documentation and set the IP and Resource groups based on what I read. I am getting errors when trying to bring the service group on line. Linux V6.4. VCS 6.1. Below I have the error from the engine log, main.cf, and the output from ip addr show.

I discovered what was cauing the problem. It was the definition of the NIC resource NetworkHost;

Old:

NetworkHosts = {
"160.254.104.61,160.254.104.66,167.113.104.31,167.113.104.62" }

New: I just used one host. It appears thatusing hares to add multiple host the NetworkHost results in the host being delimited only by commans not each address separated by comas and double quotes. I tested by removing all host bu one and the group came up without issue. Next I will manually modify the file separating them by double quotes and comma to see if the multiple host works. I will let everyone know.

NetworkHosts = { "160.254.104.61" }
