How to add a virtual IP for backup

[J Turner]

I have a two node cluster on 11.23
I need to add a virtual IP for Data Protector to backup from.
Where would I add this IP?

Thanks

Hi

The command you have to use is ifconfig.

If we suppose to configure Virtual IP to lan0

# ifconfig lan0:1 inet netmask

will assign the ip addeess to lan0:1

Add the appropriate entries in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to make the changes permanent.

Thanks & Regards

Can I pass this to the failover server with the package.
How would Ido that.

Many Thanks

Shalom,

Failover IP addresses are defined within the serviceguard package.

Example
IP[0]=10.39.40.64
SUBNET[0]=10.39.40.0


This sets up a floater in the package that starts the daemon among other things.

Standard ServiceGuard.

Hi

you may need to replicate the same on another node as well.

I will config the virtual IP for backup lan within service guard.
Fail the package ove and check to make sure the backup works via virtual IP.

Thanks
