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 the associated MultiNICA resource that determines the active NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: mnic 

Example: "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. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

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 

 

NetMask 

The netmask that is 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: + 

If you do not specify the netmask in the ifconfig command, the agent uses a default netmask. The default netmask is 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. Setting this value 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.
