Short answer: this is perfectly normal. What happened was that an IP address was added to the interface without a differentiating label.

Believe it or not, the "ifconfig" application is strongly discouraged because it has a tendency to dramatize situations like this. Smilie It would probably have been removed years ago if not for legacy support.

Anyway, if you want to understand a bit more about what is happening, take a look at this iproute2 documentation. They explain that although all alias addresses are secondary addresses, the inverse is not necessarily true.

Then try the following:
Code:
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr show dev eth0
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr add 10.200.218.86/24 broadcast 10.200.218.255 dev eth0
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ifconfig
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr add 10.200.218.87/24 broadcast 10.200.218.255 label eth0:alias dev eth0
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ifconfig

You will notice that after the first add, the output of "ip addr" showed the address, but the output of "ifconfig" did not. Additionally, when you added a label the second time, the output of "ip addr" still shows the address, but the output of "ifconfig" also show our new label. (which only says "eth0:alias" because we told it to - it could literally be anything)

After this little demo, reset things to normal:
Code:
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr del 10.200.218.86/24 dev eth0
[root@uscltest2 ~]# ip addr del 10.200.218.87/24 dev eth0

NAME
rgmanager - Resource Group (Cluster Service) Manager Daemon DESCRIPTION
rgmanager handles management of user-defined cluster services (also known as resource groups). This includes handling of user requests including service start, service disable, service relocate, and service restart. The service manager daemon also handles restarting and relocating services in the event of failures. HOW IT WORKS
The service manager is spawned by an init script after the cluster infrastructure has been started and only functions when the cluster is quorate and locks are working. During initialization, the service manager runs scripts which ensure that all services are clear to be started. After that, it determines which services need to be started and starts them. When an event is received, members which are no longer online have their services taken away from them. The event should only occur in the case that the member has been fenced whenever fencing is available. When a cluster member determines that it is no longer in the cluster quorum, the service manager stops all services and waits for a new quorum to form. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
-f Run in the foreground (do not fork). -d Enable debug-level logging. -w Disable internal process monitoring (for debugging). -N Do not perform stop-before-start. Combined with the -Z flag to clusvcadm, this can be used to allow rgmanager to be upgraded with- out stopping a given user service or set of services. SEE ALSO
