set-addr is /etc/ltttab file

Hello,

I have configured VCS cluster with putting the MAC addresses of the partnered node, but I am looking some of our old cluster they

configured mac addresses  as well in /etc/llttab file. 

set-addr 1 en1 xx.xx.xxx.xx.xx

is it important ?

    Hi Mokkan,

    Without the set-addr entry in the llttab file, llt will do a broadcast to find alll nodes in the environment that have the same cluster ID.  With the set-addr entry, llt does not need to do the broadcast to find the other nodes because it already knows them.

    Thank you,

    Wally
