Problem Summary: In the Solaris 10 OS, the /etc/nsswitch.conf file has been modified to include NIS in the ipnodes entry.
ipnodes: files nis [NOTFOUND=return] |
This causes the address resolution to hang if NIS becomes inaccessible, either due to a NIS problem or due to failure of all public network adapters. This problem eventually causes failover resources or shared address resources to fail to fail over.
Workaround: Complete the following before you create logical host or shared address resources:
Change the ipnodes entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file from [NOTFOUND=return] to [TRYAGAIN=0].
ipnodes: files nis [TRYAGAIN=0] |
Ensure that all IP addresses for logical hosts and shared addresses are added to the /etc/inet/ipnodes file, in addition to the /etc/inet/hosts file.
