Attributes for Solaris

Required attributes for Solaris

Required attribute

Description

Address 

Virtual IP address assigned to the active NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 10.128.10.14 

Example: "10.128.10.14" 

MultiNICResName 

Name of associated MultiNICA resource that determines the active NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Examples: mnic 

Examples: "mnic" 

Optional attributes for Solaris

Optional attribute

Description

ContainerName 

Non-global zone support for Solaris 10 and above. Defines the name of the non-global zone. 

See the VCS User's Guide for more information. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: zone1 

Example: "zone1" 

IfconfigTwice 

Causes an IP address to be configured twice using an ifconfig up-down-up sequence. Increases the probability of gratuitous ARP requests (generated by ifconfig up) to reach clients. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

Default: 0 

Default: "0" 

NetMask 

The netmask associated with the IP address of the resource. Specify the value of the netmask in decimal (base 10) or hexadecimal (base 16). Symantec recommends that you specify a netmask for each virtual interface. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: + 

Default: + 

If you do not specify the netmask in the ifconfig command, the agent uses a default netmask based on the contents of the /etc/netmasks for a given address range. 

Example: 255.255.248.0 

Example: "255.255.248.0" 

Options 

The ifconfig command options for the virtual IP address. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: trailers 

Example: "trailers" 

Note   On Solaris systems, Symantec recommends that you set the RestartLimit for IPMultiNIC resources to a greater-than-zero value. This helps to prevent the spurious faulting of IPMultiNIC resources during local failovers of MultiNICA. A local failover is an interface-to- interface failover of MultiNICA. See the VCS User's Guide for more information.
