Hi,
I`ve a little question about VIO-configuration
and SEA-Failover.
Situation:
I´ve two VIO´s in a p570, both VIO´s have 2
different NICs in two different networks. My
configuration
VIO1 / VIO2:
SEA1 with ctl_chan, configured a IP-address (network 1)
SEA2 with another ctl_chan, no IP-address (network 2)
In a normal situation it works fine...
my question now:
-
do I need a second IP-address configured for a working
failover configuration (network1 / 2 are different ip-networks;
they should be independent). IBM mentioned this need, ´cause
VIO attempt to ping a IP-address...
-
do I need two control-channels or do I need one channel for
both SEAs only?
Regards
Guenther
