access lan, server lan and PKG switch

[marco_33]

Hello,
here my problem.
I have two rp8400, each has 5 nics. 3 nics are 100Mb, 2 nics are 1 Gb.
Two packages will be installed: Oracle and SAP

Lan structure
1 100/nic is for heatbeat.
1 for access NW (IP address configured)
1 Standby

1 1GB is for server communication (IP address configured)(sap to Oracle)
1 1GB standby.

My question is when I create the two packages I need to Specify TWO ip address for each application (one for access NW the other for Server NW).
Is it possible?
How can I do?

Thank You
Marco

Hi Marco,

Certainly, just define two IP[x] & SUBNET[x] statements for each pkg. There is no "real" limit on how many virtual IPs can be defined in a pkg (Although there are certainly practical limits).

Also I always setup 2 heartbeats in my MC/SG clusters. Nothing more aggravating than a cluster going down solely because a heartbeat NIC fails & ALL other HW is up & OK. Rule of cluster is do things in at least twos.

Rgds,
Jeff

You do not say which version of SG you are using, but essentially you can have up to 200 relocatable IP addresses across the cluster, and you simply add these into hte package files by specifying them as an array:
subnet[0]= subnet_x
ip_address[0]=ip1
subnet[1]= subnet_y
ip_address[1]=ip2

etc.
