Does MC-SG relocate the package RFC1006 NSAP?

[Enrico Venturi]

Each package has an IP, which is relocated by MC-SG. Can I define a RFC1006 NSAP based on the IP, and have it relocated by MC-SG each time the correspondant IP is relocated?

[Stephen Doud]

ServiceGuard provides both a standby LAN feature as well as a relocatable IP feature.

In the case of the standby LAN - all network traffic (and underpinning protocols) are rerouted to the standby LAN automatically.

However, in the case of a relocatable IP, ServiceGuard does nothing more than assign the relocatable IP to the network interface card. Special treatment of the traffic handled by the IP will have to be managed in a supplemental fashion. Perhaps the package control script "customer_defined_run_cmds" section can be utilized to initiate the RFC1006 NSAP protocol after the IP has been established.
