Lan monitor failover mode
We have RP 7420 & RP5470. I want to configure nic in failover mode.
Configuration 1 - All cards are gigabit Ethernet card.
Primary Link Aggre[Primary Switch] - gelan0 gelan1 gelan2
Standby Link [Secondary Switch] - gelan3
Configuration 2 - Primary link cards are gigabit and standby links are 100Base T card.
Primary Link [Primary Switch] - gelan0 gelan1
Standby Link [Secondary Switch] - 100base t
I need complete details how to configure this.Its not very clear in APA doc.
I have these IP details -
10.227.1.10
255.255.255.0
GW = 10.227.1.254
Thanks in Advance

Re: Lan monitor failover mode
first create a APA interface:
lan900 that contains gelan0 and gelan1
files:
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
check
http://docs.hp.com/en/J4240-90027/ch04s02.html
Make sure the switch supports this and is also configured.
then setup the failover interface to gelan3
http://docs.hp.com/en/J4240-90027/ch05s01.html#d0e4104

Re: Lan monitor failover mode
I think you need to reference to the users' guide.
Here is the general steps for configuration #1:
1. For the primary link aggregate, decide the aggregation/trunking mode you want to use, set the same mode for your server AND switch, the available modes are: MANUAL, FEC_AUTO, LACP_AUTO. You may want to consult with switch 's manual for corresponding configuration steps.
2. Configure the primary link aggregate. You can edit the configuration files, or you can use SAM.
3. Check the primary link aggregate is created correctly, e.g., use "lanscan -q".
4. Configure IP address on the primary link aggregate, say "ifconfig lan900 10.227.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0". Modify /etc/netconf approapriately.
5. Make use "linkloop" between lan900 (the primary link aggregate) and gelan3 (say lan3) works fine.
6. Set the mode of lan3 to LAN_MONITOR, i.e., "lanadmin -X -p 3 LAN_MONITOR 900". Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf correspondingly if you want to preserve configuration across reboot.
7. Run "lanqueryconf"
8. Edit "/etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii": you should see something similar to:
=====
FAILOVER_GROUP lan901
STATIONARY_IP 10.227.1.10
STANDBY lan3 3
PRIMARY lan900 5
=====
If not, modify it.
9. Run "lanapplyconf".
10. If everything works fine, run "lanscan -q", you should see lan901. Run "netstat -in", you should see that IP is configured on lan901, NOT on lan900.
If you need a sample configuration file and could not find it in APA's doc, please let me know.
HTH,
Xianjie

Till now I have configured -

6)lanapplyconf
7)lanscan -q
lanscan -q

901 900(7 5 6) 8
902
903
904
Instead of running lanadmin command, I want to put in /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.Also I want to utilize my last NIC [lan9] as a failover NIC along with Lan8 [trunk both the nic and then make as failover to lan900].
since these two NIC [lan 8 & lan9] are going to secondray switch [cisco 6509] and first 3 NICs [lan 5 lan6 lan 7] are going to primary switch [cisco 6509].
It will failover to standby NIC only when all NICs [primary -lan900] fails. Please correct me if i am not wrong.
Waiting for quick reply.
Thanks,
Raj

Re: Lan monitor failover mode
Sorry, I did not check this thread early (due to holiday and vacation). You got most of the configuration right. Here are what I would change with the configuration files:
2) /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
Adding lan901:
=========
HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan900
HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE[0]=LB_MAC
HP_APA_GROUP_CAPABILITY[0]=900
HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan901
HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE[1]=LB_MAC
HP_APA_GROUP_CAPABILITY[1]=901
========
3) /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf
Adding configuration of lan8 and lan9:
============
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan5
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[0]=900
HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY[0]=0
HP_APAPORT_KEY[0]=
HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY[0]=0
HP_APAPORT_COLLECT_MAX_DELAY[0]=
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=FEC_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan6
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[1]=900
HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY[1]=0
HP_APAPORT_KEY[1]=
HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY[1]=0
HP_APAPORT_COLLECT_MAX_DELAY[1]=
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=FEC_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[2]=lan7
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[2]=900
HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY[2]=0
HP_APAPORT_KEY[2]=
HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY[2]=0
HP_APAPORT_COLLECT_MAX_DELAY[2]=
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[2]=FEC_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[3]=lan8
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[3]=901
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[3]=FEC_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[4]=lan7
HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY[4]=901
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[4]=FEC_AUTO
=================
5)/etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
Change lan8 to lan901:
=========
LM_RAPID_ARP off
LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL 1000000
LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT 10
FAILOVER_GROUP lan902
STATIONARY_IP 10.49.1.2
STANDBY lan901 3
PRIMARY lan900 5
=========
If you set up the switches correctly, after rebooting the machine (If you are not in production), run "lanscan -q", you should get:
lanscan -q
902 900(7 5 6) 901(8 9)
903
904
Quote: "It will failover to standby NIC only when all NICs [primary -lan900] fails. Please correct me if i am not wrong."
Yes. You are right. Only when all NICs in lan900 fails, it will failover to lan901.
