Migrating the VCS global clustering service group to IPv6 when VCS global clustering and VVR agents are configured

An online migration of the VCS global clustering service group is not supported. Put the service group offline and then modify the required parameters.

To migrate the VCS global clustering service to IPv6, do the following:

To take the ClusterService Group offline on the Primary and Secondary sites

Note:

Putting the service group offline does not impact the replication between the sites.

To edit the VCS configuration for IPv6 addresses

  1. On the Primary site, make the VCS configuration writeable. Enter the following:
    # haconf -makerw
  2. Modify the VCS global clustering related attribute values to support the IPv6 environment. Enter the following:
    # haclus -modify ClusterAddress \
      fd4b:454e:205a:111:213:72ff:fe5b:2f67 -clus sfcfs_gco1
    # haclus -modify ClusterAddress \
      fd4b:454e:205a:111:211:43ff:fede:1e11 -clus sfcfs_gco2
    # hahb -modify Icmp Arguments \
      fd4b:454e:205a:111:211:43ff:fede:1e11 -clus sfcfs_gco2
    # hares -modify gcoip Address \
      fd4b:454e:205a:111:213:72ff:fe5b:2f67
    # hares -modify gcoip Enabled 1
    # hares -modify gcoip PrefixLen 64
    # hares -modify gcoip NetMask ""
    # hares -modify gcoip Device eth1 
    # hares -modify gconic Device eth1
    # hares -modify gconic Enabled 1
  3. Save your configuration changes. Enter the following:
    # haconf -dump -makero
  4. Modify the VCS global clustering related attributes on the Secondary site using steps 1 through 3.

To bring the ClusterService Group online on the Primary and Secondary sites

The global clustering ClusterService Group in the VCS main.cf configuration file now looks similar to the following:

cluster sfcfs_gco1 (
        ClusterAddress = "fd4b:454e:205a:111:213:72ff:fe5b:2f67"
