Dear Gurus. I have a 2 node production cluster and on this same subnet I want to configure another 2 rp servers as a test cluster. This test cluster would have a different host names, different ip address and a seperate switch for the heartbeat with a different ip address. Will there be any conflicts or problems with my production cluster.
As for as there is no ip conflict between the nodes and the package Ip there will not be any probelm for your existing Cluster.So You can go ahead for creating the new test cluster
There's no problem having many clusters on the same IP subnet, provided there are no conflict in IP address. As you say there are none, there is no problem here.
Two or more clusters will not interfere with each other's operation even when using the same subnet. Recommend that you keep the heartbeat networks private to each cluster.
Thankyou all, But my production cluster config is as follows. NODE_NAME server 1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 HEARTBEAT_IP 10.10.10.1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.10 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan3 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c5t0d3 # List of serial device file names
NODE_NAME server2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 HEARTBEAT_IP 10.10.10.2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.20 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan3 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c5t0d3 The production package ip = 192.168.1.15. The production package name= prod The production cluster name is oraprod -------------------------------------------- For my test cluster I propose to configure as follows. NODE_NAME testserver1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.120 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3
NODE_NAME testserver2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.130 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3 The production package ip = 192.168.1.115.
The network information is as follows. testserver1:Lan2 = 192.168.1.120 testserver2:lan2 = 192.168.1.130 The package name = testprod The cluster name = testora.
So based on the information provided I need your valuable advise.
For my test cluster I propose to configure as follows. NODE_NAME testserver1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.120 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3
NODE_NAME testserver2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.130 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3 The production package ip = 192.168.1.115.
Check for this IP Is the Existing Production IP what you are talking about are you planned to configure a package with the same IP. You cannot give same package IP for both the servers.Check it out.Rest of the things sound OK
Its a typing error: the testpackage ip is what I mentioned as 192.168.1.115.
I do not know whether I'm missing a point. The confusion is on the Heartbeat: where the production cluster is using a dedicated heartbeat and also configured on lan0 for the Heartbeat, which is the same subnet that the testcluster's secondary Heartbeat would also be configured.
What would be the position if I have the following. For my test cluster I propose to configure as follows. NODE_NAME testserver1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.1 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3
NODE_NAME testserver2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0 HEARTBEAT_IP 50.50.50.2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan2 NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1 FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV /dev/dsk/c7t1d3 The test package ip = 192.168.1.115.
Here is a sample section of a cluster configuration file for a node with multiple LANs where one is a dedicated HB net, and the data lan is also used for HB:
In this cae, lan0 and lan2 are designated to carry HB traffic on top of their other duties. Note that lan1 has no IP assigned to it, so it appears to be a standby LAN. The comments that follow each node section clarify the nature of that lan.
Hi Gurus Thanks a lot for all of you. I did create the cluster based on your advises. It does work. Now I am in the process of creating my package. Thanks alot...
