VCS IPmultiNICB Errors

Hi Janet,

please check your types.cf versus the types.cf from MP1 (installed in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf). There might be changes for the IPmultiNICB agent type which are necessary for the agent to come up.

Carsten

Hi Carsten Hennig,

thnaks for the reply i appreciate your help I try to find out the that what ist he differnce between these two files it seems only the ifconfigtwice parameter is set to 0 in (/etc/VRTSvcs/conf).

while in type.cf its has no value.

if you want to have a look on two files i am attaching the file contain the diffrences your response is highly appreciated.
First entry is for type.cf and second for (type.cf(MP1))

Hi,

if these are all the differences between the two types.cf files, you should stop your cluster, replace the types.cf with the new one from MP1 and start over again.

I am having the same exact problem. After upgrading to VCS 4.1MP1 my IPMultiNicB stooped working. I have asked Veritas support how to backout of MP1 so that i can have redundancy on my network interfaces.
