All,
With a local configuration in the rc:
----
ifconfig NFS-972 10.72.12.12 netmask 255.255.254.0 mtusize 1500 -wins partner NFS-972
-----
and a HA-pair ifconfig of:
-----
NFS-972: flags=0x710a862<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM,NOWINS> mtu 1500
ether 02:a0:98:27:01:ca (Enabled virtual interface)
----
with no IP assigned to the partner's obviously ifgrped and tagged interface, will a takeover work?
We have no way to check it without a test take/give, but if there is an IP assigned, there is probably a higher chance that it will work than otherwise, no?
In looking at another configuration a few moments later, I see this:
NFS-981: flags=0x310a862<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM> mtu 1500
partner NFS-981 (not in use)
ether 02:a0:98:26:3d:0e (Enabled virtual interface)
Indicating to me that there is information missing in the first (the "partner" in the ifconfig -a statement) that shows that the takeover would not work. Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Mike
