Hi

When ever I am starting my cluster I am getting the following error message,

CM-CMD[2058]: Error: lan4 is a slave device which you are not allowed to reference directly from a ServiceGuard configuration.

lan4 is configured as a standby

can any one suggest a solution for this

Thanks in adv
Raj

Hi Raj,

I would check that the standby interface lan4 doesn't have an IP associated with it. If it is configured with the actual IP address, then reassign it to the primary interface.

Did you configured lan4 already for some other purpose and then trying to assign it as a standby in cluster.
check using
# ifconfig lan4
What status it show.
# lanscan
See if any secondary interfaces present on lan4.

All the best,
Regards,

Check the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

The lan should NOT be listed in this file even with an IP address of 0.0.0.0

After removing the lan4 reference from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, do the following to set lan4 back to proper standby mode:

# ifconfig lan4 unplumb
# ifconfig lan4 plumb
