How to change heartbeat IP address ?

TVS MURTY — Tue, 04 Jun 2002 04:10:56 GMT

Hello,

I couldnot get this info through search options in
ITRC. I need to change the heartbeat IP addresses
of my 2 node production cluster. There are two
packages running on this cluster.

I would change the heartbeat IP in the cluster acsii
file. But my question is do I need to run
cmapplyconf -C clusterascii -p pkg1 -p pkg2 or
is it enough to if I run
cmapplyconf -C clusterascii
alone (I am not removing the existing binary file).

I am not modifying any pkg files.

The manual doesn't talk clearly about this.

Thank you for your help.

vi clusterascii, change the heartbeat IP,

then run cmcheckconf, next cmapplyconf.

This will do it.

run cmviewcl -v to double check

Wilfred,

Do you mean that no flags need to be given with the cmapplyconf command? If so,
what effect does this have ?
Will it rebuild a completely new binary file taking into account the new cluster ascii file as well the existing pkg files or will it only update the binary file with the changes made to the cluster ascii file?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

If you want to modify the IP heartbeat, you don't need to remove the binary file.
Using "cmapplyconf -c cluster.ascii" will update your binary file keeping the pakages' configuration. You don't need to specify the packages' configuration files.

Thank you all,

I thought that we should be to apply the change with only
cmapplyconf -c. Just wanted some reconfirmation. Will implement this shortly.

Thanks,

stephen,

Thnak you for the doc. As per this document, it won't be enough if you do a
cmapplyconf -C alone. You
need to add the -p
for all the pkgs that are there.

Looks like I don't have an option of applying only the cluster ascii file alone.

Thnak you,

TVS

Hi TVS,

I noticed the document doesn't explicitly state that a cmapplyconf can be done if cmcheckconf succeeds, so I updated the document:

Correct any errors until cmcheckconf completes without errors.
If cmcheckconf if happy, halt the cluster, apply the change and then start
the cluster:

# cmapplyconf -C
# cmruncl
