Configuring network interfaces to PowerHA SystemMirror
You can define which network interfaces are used to host clustered application IP traffic.
When you are configuring network interfaces to PowerHA® SystemMirror® components,
you can have the following scenarios:
- Network interfaces are already configured to AIX®, and you have run the PowerHA SystemMirror discovery process to add them to PowerHA SystemMirror picklists to aid in the PowerHA SystemMirror configuration process.
- Network interfaces are already configured to AIX, and need to be configured to PowerHA SystemMirror (no discovery was run).
- Network interfaces need to be defined to AIX before you can configure them in PowerHA SystemMirror. In this case,
you should use the AIX SMIT
menus to define new network interfaces with base IP addresses prior
to adding them to the PowerHA SystemMirror cluster.
To configure network interfaces to the AIX operating system without leaving PowerHA SystemMirror SMIT, use the SMIT path.
