hp_apaportconf, and /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii files, which maintains the Create
Failover Group changes across reboots.
After you configure the failover group, configure an IP address to enable it. See
an IP address" (page 37)
Configuring an IP address
After you configure HP APA, you must configure an IP address on the interface. To configure
an IP address for a link aggregate or failover group, do the following:
1.
Select a link aggregate or failover group in the list pane on the APA main page. The interface
details are displayed in the details pane.
2.
Click View/Modify IP Attributes. The View/Modify Attributes page is displayed.
3.
Modify the needed IPv4 attributes.
4.
Modify the needed IPv6 attributes.
5.
Select the Configuration Options you want.
6.
Click OK to modify the IP attributes. A message appears informing that the IP attributes are
modified successfully.
The information is updated in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf (IPv4 logical interface),
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 (IPv6 logical interface), and /etc/hosts (host
aliases information) files.
The APA main page is displayed and the modified network interface IP attributes are
displayed in the list pane.
Configuring the link partner
HP APA also requires that you configure your switches' trunking mode (AUTO or MANUAL)
to match the mode being used on the server (for example, Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC), IEEE
802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or MANUAL).
If you selected HOT_STANDBY as the load distribution algorithm for a MANUAL mode link
aggregate or configured a failover group, do not configure the switch ports for an aggregation.
See
Appendix E (page 111)
Configuring HP Serviceguard
HP recommends that you configure HP Serviceguard after configuring HP APA. You can then
use the link aggregates or failover groups in your HP Serviceguard configuration. See the HP
Serviceguard documentation for more information.
NOTE:
Do not configure HP Serviceguard with ports that are part of a link aggregate or failover
group.
Creating VLANs over APA
To create VLANs over link aggregates or failover groups, complete the following steps:
1.
Decide what ports are to be part of the link aggregate or failover group. Then, decide on the
VLANs that will be created over the link aggregate or failover group.
2.
Configure the trunks and VLANs on the switch according to the switch's documentation.
If you want to enable a VLAN on a link aggregate, its trunk on the switch side must be
tagged with the VLAN's ID.
If you want to enable a VLAN on a failover group, the member ports of the failover group
on the switch side must be tagged with the VLAN's ID.
