HA Failover configuration

ONSSIITOPS — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:03:10 GMT

Hi All:

I am attempting to configure HA on the data ports of the controllers. In the event that the Data interfaces on controllerA is not accessible then ControllerB should take over responsibility for the IP traffic destined to ControllerA’s ifgrp.

Commands compiled for this tasks are as follows:

Commands for ControllerA:
Commands for ControllerB

what goes into the rc file on either controllers?
Is my configuration correct?

thank you.

Hi,

1. In /etc/rc file you need to put all commands that you will use for creating the interface groups,set ip address and partner interface to them

2. Standard syntax: ifconfig <name of the interface>

Yes, separate file on each of the controllers. Please note that In Cluster-Mode, there is not more /etc/rc

Depends on your environment to edit these files you can use CLI commands:

toaster> rdfile /etc/RC - reading file

toaster> wrfile /etc/RC - write to file

or if you have CIFS licensed map c$ to your windows wks.

Just my 2 cents 🙂
