Network and Storage Protocols
Network and Storage Protocols
Hi,
I've finally configured the storage in HA with multi IP connection. Here my hosts and rc files:
Filer-1 nlnetapp001
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost-stack 127.0.10.1 localhost-10 localhost-bsd 127.0.20.1 localhost-20 localhost-sk 192.168.0.150 nlnetapp001 nlnetapp001-pub0 192.168.0.151 nlnetapp002 pub1 nlnetapp002-pub1
hostname nlnetapp001 ifgrp create multi pub0 -b ip e0b e0d ifconfig pub0 `hostname`-pub0 netmask 255.255.255.0 flowcontrol full mtusize 1500 partner pub1 route add default 192.168.0.1 1 routed on options dns.domainname mydomain.com options dns.enable on options nis.enable off savecore
Filer-2 nlnetapp002
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost-stack 127.0.10.1 localhost-10 localhost-bsd 127.0.20.1 localhost-20 localhost-sk 192.168.0.151 nlnetapp002 nlnetapp002-pub1 192.168.0.150 nlnetapp001 pub0 nlnetapp002-pub0
hostname nlnetapp002 ifgrp create multi pub0 -b ip e0b e0d ifconfig pub0 `hostname`-pub1 netmask 255.255.255.0 flowcontrol full mtusize 1500 partner pub0 route add default 192.168.0.1 1 routed on options dns.domainname mydomain.com options dns.enable on options nis.enable off savecore
The tricky part is regarding the pub0 and pub1 defined in the hosts file, because the ifconfig partner command do not accept ip as partner (!?!) but asking me to set the interface instead. Another thing that drove me crazy is the line ifgrp in rc files; this line is needed otherwise at the reboot the filer loose the network configuration (!?!?)
cf takeover works fine on both nodes; the only "issue" is regarding the cf giveback that works only with force mode cf giveback -f
Can someone give me a feedback about this config? I mean if is correct or not?

Solved! See The Solution
Hi,
In RC file the partner interface has to be mentioned and its by design, the failover should happen to an interface
Your /etc/rc file looks fine
are you seeing any errors when you issue "cf giveback" with out -f options
You may want to look at the below links for some information on why cf giveback fails

Hi,
thank you for the feedback.
I figured out why "cf giveback" was not working, I supposed because I was keep open the ssh SP console of both nodes, closing the ssh console of the filer taken the "cf giveback" was playing in correct fashion.
