Hi everyone, Reading out all the mails regarding VIPA implementations, I got mixed up on several recommendations provided. So I need some pointers on how to finish up my implementation.
I got the dummy device set up (ifconfig dummy0 192.168.1.1) and added to the vipa list: qethconf vipa list vipa add 10.1.1.1 eth0 vipa add 10.1.1.2 eth1 I read several threads on this and apparently there is a need for a routing daemon to be running. Why is there the need for a routing daemon? What exactly should this daemon do?. Re-route incoming packets to the "physical" interface that is up when the other one is down dynamically. If this is right?. Then the next questions come to mind What is IPA takeover is used for?. Is IPa for a manual take over procedure? Do I need to set IPA takeover along with VIPA? And last , any idea why I am not able to echo "1 or " to the enable folder. I issue the command: echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.2210/ipa_takeover/enable The is no error shown or logged, but the set never happens. I do a cat to enable and it comes back 0. I tried chmoding +777 enable, but no luck. Well, I'd like to thank everyone before hand for taking the time to reply. Best of luck!!!
