PowerVM HA questions
hi guys,
i need to develop following setup for a customer:
high availability oracle database on aix7 and linux in 2 different LPAR using dual ps700 blande a ds3400 and HMC.
the question is, it is possible to have automatic vioc failover(aix,linux) when for example 1 vios goes down?
in the following setup i need powerHA for AIX?
i need to run HMC or SDMC(i think is the same but SDMC is newer) ?
pls can you advice what setup i need to have an automated failover on LPARs?
if it not possible pls explain my why.
Thanks so much
Giulio

CDROM can be seen on the POWERVM (IVM) server , but through the web-access if I move it ( assign it ) to LPAR it will be assigned. I run cfgmgr , and the cdrom does not show up in the LPAR. I firmly believe this is the reason why I... (2 Replies)

NAME
ifparse - parse ifconfig command line
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/ifparse [-fs] addr_family commands
DESCRIPTION
Use the ifparse command to parse the ifconfig(1M) command line options and output substrings, one per line, as appropriate. If no options
are specified, ifparse returns the entire ifconfig command line as a series of substrings, one per line.
OPTIONS
The ifparse command supports the following options:
-f Lists only substrings of the ifconfig command line that are relevant to IP network multipath failover
-s Lists only substrings of the ifconfig command line that are not relevant to IP network multipath failover
OPERANDS
The ifparse command does not support the interface operand of the ifconfig command.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Parsing Command Line Options Relevant to Failover
The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the command line options relevant to IP network multipath failover:
example# ifparse -f inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
set 1.2.3.4 up
Example 2 Parsing Command Line Options That Are Not Relevant to Failover
The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the command line options that are not relevant to IP network multipath
failover:
example# ifparse -s inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
group one
addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
Example 3 Parsing the Command Line For All Options
The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the command line for all ifconfig options:
example# ifparse inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
group one
set 1.2.3.4 up
addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
