Attributes for Solaris

Required attributes for Solaris

Required attribute

Description

Address 

The logical IP address that the IPMultiNICB resource must handle. 

This IP address must be different than the base or test IP addresses in the MultiNICB resource. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 10.112.10.15 

Example: "10.112.10.15"  

 

BaseResName 

Name of MultiNICB resource from which the IPMultiNICB resource gets a list of working interfaces. The logical IP address is placed on the physical interfaces according to the device number information. 

Create the BaseResName attribute in this format:
service_group_name.mnicb_resource_name 

This service group is where the mnicb_resource resides. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: orasg.gnic_n 

Example: "gnic_n" 

 

NetMask 

The netmask that is associated with the logical IP address. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 255.255.255.0 

Example: "255.255.255.0" 

 

Optional attributes for Solaris

Optional attribute

Description

ContainerName 

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

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "zone1" 

 

DeviceChoice 

Indicates the preferred NIC where you want to bring the logical IP address online. Specify the device name or NIC alias as determined in the Device attribute of the MultiNICB resource. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: 0 

Examples: qfe0 and 1 

Examples: "qfe0" and "1" 

 

RouteOptions 

String to add a route when configuring an interface. 

The string contains the destination gateway metric. No routes are added if the value of this string is null. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7 

Example: "192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" 

 

Note   The value of the ToleranceLimit static attribute is 1. A value of 1 avoids spurious agent faults in the Multipathing mode while Sun's mpathd daemon migrates the IP address from one interface to another.
Due to the change in the ToleranceLimit attribute, the value of the MonitorInterval static attribute is now 30 seconds. The 30-second value means that the agent tries to online the resource twice a minute. This value ensures that the overall fault detection time is still 60 seconds.
