Creating a Network Using SRVCTL

Use the following procedure to create a network for a cluster member node, and to add application configuration information:

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Add a node application to the node, using the following syntax, where: 
    srvctl add nodeapps -node node_name -address {vip |
   addr}/netmask[/if1[|if2|...]] [-pingtarget "ping_target_list"]

    In the preceding syntax:

    • node_name is the name of the node

    • vip is the VIP name or addr is the IP address

    • netmask is the netmask

    • if1[|if2|...] is a pipe-delimited list of interfaces bonded for use by the application

    • -ping_target_list is a comma-delimited list of IP addresses or host names to ping

    Note:

    • Use the -pingtarget parameter when link status monitoring does not work as it does in a virtual machine environment.

    • Enter the srvctl add nodeapps -help command to review other syntax options.

    In the following example of using srvctl add nodeapps to configure an IPv4 node application, the node name is node1, the netmask is 255.255.252.0, and the interface is eth0:

    # srvctl add nodeapps -node node1 -address node1-vip.mycluster.example.com/255.255.252.0/eth0
