hello,
I creating a cluster, at boot everything ok, when VCS starts, all the interfaces in MultiNICB resource failed !
-node 1
/etc/hostname.bge0
heux167 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
/etc/hostname.bge2
heux167_bge2 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
-node2
/etc/hostname.bge0
heux168 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
/etc/hostname.bge2
heux168_bge2 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
configuration of MulitNICB resource in main.cf :
MultiNICB MULTINICB_POSTIT_INT (
Device @heux168 = { bge0 = "", bge2 = "" }
Device @heux167 = { bge0 = "", bge2 = "" }
)
if someone may help, it will be a pleasure...
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Herve,
you want to set up a link-based IPMP Configuration with VCS.
Here is a link to the VCS-digest, witch describes your scenario.
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/317562.htm
But be carefull with using link-based IPMP because there are some problems (e.g. take a look at http://sloveridge.blogspot.com/2005/09/link-based-ipmp-on-solaris-10.html or the "System Administration Guide: IP Services" for further information)

Hi Herve,
we have a similar configuration and it works fine. try to set the UseMpathd, MpathdCommand with the "-a" option (not the standard path), DefaultRouter and GroupName.
MultiNICB interfaces_MultiNICB (
UseMpathd = 1
MpathdCommand = "/usr/lib/inet/in.mpathd -a"
Device @HOST2= { bge0= "", bge1 = "" }
Device @HOST1= { bge1 = "", bge2 = "" }
DefaultRouter = "<IP of Default-Router>"
GroupName = public_lan
)
Regards,
Bjoern

thank you,
in your configuration i think you use test addresses for IPMP.
I want to have only one address per interface, and virtual IP for the applications.
# ifconfig -a
bge0: flags=219040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER,FAILED,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.16.49.62 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 10.16.49.127
groupname MULTINICB_POSTIT_INT
ether 0:14:4f:7a:f1:d6
bge2: flags=219040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER,FAILED,CoS> mtu 1500 index 4
inet 10.16.49.63 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 10.16.49.127
groupname MULTINICB_POSTIT_INT
ether 0:14:4f:7a:f1:d8

Hi Herve,
> I want to have only one address per interface, and virtual IP for the applications.
This seems not to be in sync with the MultiNICB Base Mode configuration requirements. See this excerpt from the Bundled Agents Guide:
Setting up test IP addresses for Base Mode
These examples demonstrate setting up test IP addresses for your clustered systems. These IP address allows the agent determine if the NIC is working. The agent determines that the NIC is working if it receives responses for the ping packets that it sends to other nodes on the network. You do not need to perform
the following steps for the floating IP addresses, as the agent takes care of this automatically.
In the file /etc/hostname.qfe0, add the following two lines:
north-qfe0 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up \
addif north netmask + broadcast + up
Where north-qfe0 is the test IP address that the agent uses to determine the state of the qfe0 network card.
In the file /etc/hostname.qfe4, add the following line:
north-qfe4 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
Where north-qfe4 is the test IP address that the agent uses to determine the state of the qfe4 network card. In the above example, north-qfe0 and north-qfe4 are host names that correspond to test IP addresses. north is the host name that corresponds to the test IP address.
