Manually migrating a logical IP address

Use the haipswitch command to migrate the logical IP address from one interface to another.

In the following form, the command shows the status of the interfaces for the specified MultiNICB resource.

    # haipswitch -s MultiNICB_resname

In the following form, the command checks that both from and to interfaces are associated with the specified MultiNICB resource and the to interface is working. If not, the command aborts the operation. It then removes the IP address on the from logical interface and configures the IP address on the to logical interface. Finally it erases previous failover information created by MultiNICB for this logical IP address.

  # haipswitch MultiNICB_resname IPMultiNICB_resname ip addr \
    netmask from to
