Hi friends,
I installed oracle 10g (10.2.0.2) RAC on 2 IBM p5 570 servers running AIX 5.3ML04 and HACMP5.2 (used Raw devices, not used GPFS). Each server has 4 x 1Gbps ethernet cards (NICs), en0 and en1 for boot address, en2 and en3 for oracle interconnect.
Now i want to merge 2 NICs (en2 and... (1 Reply)

Hi, is there a way in Solaris 8 to determine how many total NIC's say a Sun Sparc box has installed - plumbed or unplumbed - and find out its capable network speeds and MAC address?
I know ifconfig -a but that only shows the plumbed and used interfaces.
thx

I'm looking for a way in RHL 5.1 to use two NICs on one host with two physical IP addresses and map them under one virtual IP address, i.e. NIC 1 10.10.10.1 NIC2 10.10.10.2 VIP 192.168.10.1
Basically I want either one of the NICs to ARP for the VIP. No load balancing required just HA. (2 Replies)

if_epair
EPAIR(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual EPAIR(4)
NAME
epair -- A pair of virtual back-to-back connected Ethernet interfaces.
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device epair
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_epair_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The epair is a pair of Ethernet-like software interfaces, which are connected back-to-back with a virtual cross-over cable.
Each epair interface pair is created at runtime using interface cloning. This is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or
using the cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5). While for cloning you only give either epair or epair<n> the epair pair will be named
like epair<n>[ab]. This means the names of the first epair interfaces will be epair0a and epair0b.
Like any other Ethernet interface, an epair needs to have a network address. Each epair will be assigned a locally administered address by
default, that is only guaranteed to be unique within one network stack. To change the default addresses one may use the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2)
or ifconfig(8) utility.
The basic intend is to provide connectivity between two virtual network stack instances. When connected to a if_bridge(4) one end of the
interface pair can also be part of another (virtual) LAN. As with any other Ethernet interface one can configure vlan(4) support on top of
it.
SEE ALSO

HISTORY
The epair interface first appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.

The epair interface was written by Bjoern A. Zeeb, CK Software GmbH, under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
