Attributes

Required attributes

Required attribute

Description

Device

List of devices and associated base IP addresses. This attribute must be specified separately for each system in the SystemList. You must specify the devices in the list in the order of priority. The first device that the agent determines is "up" becomes the active device, to which the agent assigns a corresponding IP address.

In the IP Conservation Mode (ICM), if all the NICs configured in the Device attribute are down, the MultiNICA agent faults the resource after a 2-3 minute interval. This delay occurs because the MultiNICA agent tests the failed NIC several times before marking the resource offline. Messages recorded in the engine log during failover provide a detailed description of the events that take place during failover, find the engine log in /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log.

Type and dimension: string-association

Example:

Device@vcslinux1={ eth1 = "10.212.100.178", eth2 = "10.212.102.178" }

Device@vcslinux2 ={ eth2 = "10.212.100.179", eth3 = "10.212.102.179" }

NetMask

Netmask associated with the base IP address. The value must be specified in decimal (base 10).

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Required attributes
Required attribute	Description
Device	List of devices and associated base IP addresses. This attribute must be specified separately for each system in the SystemList. You must specify the devices in the list in the order of priority. The first device that the agent determines is "up" becomes the active device, to which the agent assigns a corresponding IP address. In the IP Conservation Mode (ICM), if all the NICs configured in the Device attribute are down, the MultiNICA agent faults the resource after a 2-3 minute interval. This delay occurs because the MultiNICA agent tests the failed NIC several times before marking the resource offline. Messages recorded in the engine log during failover provide a detailed description of the events that take place during failover, find the engine log in /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log. Type and dimension: string-association Example: Device@vcslinux1={ eth1 = "10.212.100.178", eth2 = "10.212.102.178" } Device@vcslinux2 ={ eth2 = "10.212.100.179", eth3 = "10.212.102.179" }
NetMask	Netmask associated with the base IP address. The value must be specified in decimal (base 10). Type and dimension: string-scalar

Optional attributes
Optional attribute	Description
Failback	In the Performance Mode (PM), this attribute determines if the active NIC should be changed to a preferred NIC, even though the current NIC is healthy. If operating in the ICM mode, change the value to 0. Type and dimension: boolean-scalar Default: 1
NetworkHosts	List of hosts on the network that receive pings to determine the state of the NICs. Specify the IP address of the host, not the host name. Include hosts that can be reached by all the NICs in the Device list. If more than one network host is listed, monitor returns online if the ping test is successful with at least one of the hosts. Type and dimension: string-vector
Options	The ifconfig options involved while assigning the base IP address to the active device. Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "broadcast 10.212.100.255"
PingOptimize	Determines whether or not a broadcast ping is sent prior to checking network statistics, which are used to determine the state of the NIC (if MII is not supported and the ping to NetworkHosts does not confirm the NIC is up.) A value of 1 indicates a broadcast ping does not occur, a value of 0 indicates a broadcast ping occurs. Type and dimension: integer-scalar Default: 1
RouteOptions	Assignment of a base IP address to a device is followed by a route `add` command with the options specified for this attribute. RouteOptions are applicable only when configuring the local host as the default gateway. No routes are added if this string is set to NULL. Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "default 166.98.16.103"
