The following scconf_transp_adap_wrsm(1M) man page replaces the existing scconf_transp_adap_wrsm(1M) man page.

NAME

scconf_transp_adap_wrsm.1m- configure the wrsm transport adapter

DESCRIPTION

wrsm adapters may be configured as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport types dlpi.

The wrsm adapter connects to a transport junction or to another wrsm adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection is made through a transport cable.

Although you can connect the wrsm adapters directly by using a point-to-point configuration, Sun Cluster software requires that you specify a transport junction, a virtual transport junction. For example, if node1:wrsm1 is connected to node2:wsrm1 directly through a cable, you must specify the following configuration information.


node1:wrsm1 <--cable1--> Transport Junction sw_wrsm1 <--cable2--> node2:wrsm1

The transport junction, whether a virtual switch or a hardware switch, must have a specific name. The name must be sw_wrsmN where the adapter is wrsmN. This requirement reflects a Wildcat restriction that requires that all wrsm controllers on the same Wildcat network have the same instance number.

When a transport junction is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name on the transport junction. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the transport junction.

The default sets the port name to the node ID that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable.

Refer to scconf(1M) for more configuration details.

There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
