How can we bind one IP address to different lan cards ? or How can we configure the Redundancy for IP Address ?

please let me know the steps to...thanks!

You need the product "Auto Port Aggregation" to do this.

Thanks, anyways for redundancy can i use MC/service guard ?

[Basheer_2]

Yes you can use service guard for HA ( high availability), as the product name is MC/Sg Mission Critical serviceguard.

Briefly.
you have apps running in one node and if that node is down, serviceguard is configured to automatically moved to the second node ( failover node) and if the first node is broguht online, you can move back from the 2nd node to the first node ( primary node)

Serviceguard also does provide a local failover of a primary lan interface to a standby interface on the same system. It's possible to configure a one node "cluster" if local lan failover is all you require.

APA is included with the OS and downloadable for free with HP-UX 11.31 at software.hp.com. Prior versions (11.11/11.23) may be purchased at the same site.

With cooperation from the network switch, APA can provide a trunk type interface for increased bandwidth as well as redundancy, or a primary/standby configuration (called Lan Monitor). Serviceguard can only provide the primary/standby type.

Hope this helps.

Shalom,

Thanks, anyways for redundancy can i use MC/service guard ?

You can use APA or you can use MC SG standby LAN.

Both will help with High availability. APA can let you improve overall band width if that is an issue.
