Now, what i want to do is that i want to configure the other 2 to be configured for other purposes( heart beat or standby lan for mc service guard).
So, how do i go about configuring them...

Shalom,

You have port aggregation running covering 5 ports.

This is from APA, Auto Port aggregation. Software from HP

If you are to have more than 2 or 3 interfaces, you'll probably need to back out the APA configuration.

SG links are configured in the cluster control scripts. floating ip's in the package control scripts.

The network configuration file is /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

You can add the entries to the netconf and run "/sbin/init.d/net start" to start networking.

If you want to configure the card for SG as a standby lan, you can run "ifconfig lanX plumb". Once the card is plumbed and has a cable connection (a linkloop will pass) you can run a cmqueryconf to add the card. You will have to take down the cluster to run the cmapplyconf though.

Hi guys, well i wanted to know what does plumb mean in networking. The other problem is that i have 3 interfaces cards on my server and i went into the same and tried configuring the second lan card. Now, i cannot telnet into the server at all. How do i go about accessing the server remotely.

Thanks.
