I guess you mean IP alias instead of "virtual IP address".
It depends in which state the cluster node is and if RGs are up. Usually production addresses are configured as alias when RGs are started. Else a cluster node has it's boot addresses configured which are usually permanent addresses, no aliases.
To get a glimpse at current active IP configuration, use:
Not sure if there is an easier way to distinguish what is an alias and what not, you can check with ifconfig -a, which adapter has more than 1 IP configured, example:
Ok, en5 has 2 addresses; let's check the ODM:
As you can see the address 10.10.29.111 showing up with ifconfig is not in the ODM. So this is the alias which is only configured on this cluster node, when the related RG (Resource Group) is activated.

Hi,
I bound a virtual IP to a network card on my E450 server and I am getting this error when I reboot the server, saying, " retrying host, RPC time out.

How do I get a pointer to any 32 bit address on my hard drive, in which I then could read that memory or write to that memory address?
And, while the subject is on, how do get a 32 bit pointer in RAM also, in which I can do the same?
I'm using C and Objective-C with gcc on an iBook G4.

Hi, I try to understand how to configure my ethernet network in a hacmp cluster.

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has faced this problem. Whenever there is a duplicate IP address, HACMP goes down infact HACMP ( PowerHA ) takes the whole system down.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem ? (3 Replies)

hi all
i want to set ip address to a vitrual machine i am using following command.
but it is not ifconfig -a command output.
what is wrong i dont know

vni
vni(7d) Devices vni(7d)NAME
vni - STREAMS virtual network interface driver
DESCRIPTION
The vni pseudo device is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, STREAMS pseudo-device supporting the connectionless Data Link Provider
Interface dlpi(7P) Style 2. Note that DLPI is intended to interact with IP, meaning that DLPI access to applications is not supported. (For
example, snoop fails on the vni interface.)
The vni device is a software-only interface and does not send or receive data. The device provides a DLPI upper interface that identifies
itself to IP with a private media type. It can be configured via ifconfig(1M) and can have IP addresses assigned to it, making aliases pos-
sible.
The vni pseudo device is particularly useful in hosting an IP address when used in conjunction with the 'usesrc' ifconfig option (see
ifconfig(1M) for examples). The logical instances of the device can also be used to host addresses as an alternative to hosting them over
the loopback interface.
Multicast is not supported on this device. More specifically, the following options return an error when used with an address specified on
vni: IP_MULTICAST_IF, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, IPV6_JOIN_GROUP, IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP. In addition, broadcast
is not supported.
Because there is no physical hardware configured below it, no traffic can be received through nor transmitted on a virtual interface. All
packet transmission and reception is accomplished with existing physical interfaces and tunnels. Because applications that deal with packet
transmission and reception (such as packet filters) cannot filter traffic on virtual interfaces, you cannot set up a packet filter on a
virtual interface. Instead, you should configure the policy rules to apply to the physical interfaces and tunnels, and if necessary, use
the virtual IP addresses themselves as part of the rule configuration. Also, note that the virtual interface cannot be part of an IP multi-
pathing (IPMP) group.
