disable IP address of package by service guard

[RiclyLeRoy]

In Service Guard wih 4 host and multiple package I need to disable one of 2 IP interfaces of 'mypkg' package, so I commented these two lines inside mypkg.cntl file, which is referenced as RUN_SCRIPT into 'mypkg.config'

file mypkg.cntl

...

#IP[0]="10.88.66.1 "

#SUBNET[0]="10.88.66.0"

cmcheckconf -P file

file mypkg.config

...

RUN_SCRIPT /etc/cmcluster/mypkg/mypkg.cntl

...

Then I executed these 2 commands on every host

cmcheckconf -P mypkg.config

cmapplyconf -P mypkg.config

cmhaltpkg mypkg

service on mypkg package is not listeneding so It's OK

But by "netstat -in" command, IP address "10.88.66.1" is always present in lan0 interface!

ahve you got suggestions ?

Hello RiclyLeRoy,

Usually we do not have to run cmcheckconf or cmapplyconf for the modification done to control script (cntl file) of a legacy file.
You need to make sure that the updated control script is copied to all the nodes in cluster which is configured to run the package .

It seems you already commented out the IP address from control file, which would be the reason the IP address still stays up though you have halted the package . Ideally halting the package should bring down / unplumb the IP address associated with it .

You may use the steps given below to remove the VIP (Virtual IP address).
# ifconfig lan0:1 0.0.0.0 up
# ifconfig lan0:1 down
# ifconfig lan0 
NIC won't be showing IP address at this time ,and won't be reported in netstat -in output .
