6.9.2 Examples of settings (model HA8000xN or later)

This subsection shows examples of reset path settings for model HA8000xN or later. In the tables in this subsection, Setting item corresponds to Information required for configuration in Table 6-6 Information required for configuring the reset path (model HA8000xN or later).

Organization of this subsection

(1) When there is one pair of hot-standby configurations
(2) When there are two pairs of hot-standby configurations
(3) VMware ESXi-based virtualization configuration

(1) When there is one pair of hot-standby configurations

This subsection presents an example of settings specified with the monsetup command for the following configuration (performing the hot standby operation between hosts 1 and 2).

Port number of reset path	`ppppp`	`ppppp`
IP address of the management server	`x.x.x.c`	`x.x.x.c`
Port number of the management server	`qqqqq`	`qqqqq`

(2) When there are two pairs of hot-standby configurations

This subsection explains an example of reset path settings in a system that runs under the following conditions:

The system contains two pairs of 1-to-1 switchover configurations that do not monitor each other.
Two pairs of hot-standby configurations share the reset path.

Important: In the hot-standby switchover configuration explained here, the specification of host address (address operand in the HA Monitor environment settings) requires special care. For details, see (2) Notes about sharing a reset path among hot-standby configurations.

The following shows an example of settings specified with the monsetup command for the configuration shown in the following figure (performing the hot standby operation between hosts 1 and 3 and between hosts 2 and 4) that satisfies all the above conditions.

Figure 6‒31: Example 3 of configuring the reset path (model: HA8000xN or later) (management server used as the failure management processor)

Setting item	Settings on host
Setting item	Host 1	Host 2	Host 3	Host 4
Partition name	`MS0001`	`MS0002`	`MS0003`	`MS0004`
IP address of reset path	`x.x.x.a`	`x.x.x.b`	`x.x.x.c`	`x.x.x.d`
Port number of the reset path	`ppppp`	`qqqqq`	`ppppp`	`qqqqq`
IP address of the management server	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`
Port number of the management server	`rrrrr`	`sssss`	`rrrrrr`	`sssss`

For this hot-standby configuration, the following shows an example of the address operand values in the HA Monitor environment settings:

Setting item	Settings on host
Setting item	Host 1	Host 2	Host 3	Host 4
Host addresses of the local hosts	`11`	`21`	`12`	`22`

Setting item	Settings on host
Setting item	Host 1	Host 2	Host 3	Host 4
Partition name	`MS0001`	`MS0002`	`MS0003`	`MS0004`
IP address of reset path	`x.x.x.a`	`x.x.x.b`	`x.x.x.c`	`x.x.x.d`
Port number of the reset path	`ppppp`	`qqqqq`	`ppppp`	`qqqqq`
IP address of the failure management processor	`x.x.x.a`	`x.x.x.b`	`x.x.x.c`	`x.x.x.d`
Port number of the failure management processor	`rrrrr`	`sssss`	`rrrrr`	`sssss`

(3) VMware ESXi-based virtualization configuration

This subsection explains an example of reset path settings in a system that runs under the following conditions:

A VMware ESXi-based virtualization configuration is used.
The system contains two pairs of 1-to-1 switchover configurations that do not monitor each other.
Two pairs of hot-standby configurations share the reset path.

The following shows an example of values to be specified in the monsetup command under the preceding conditions in a configuration. In this example, hosts 1 and 3 make up one hot-standby switchover pair, hosts 2 and 4 make up another hot-standby switchover pair, and hosts 1, 2, and 3 are managed by VMware ESXi.

Figure 6‒33: Example 5 of configuring the reset path (model: HA8000xN or later) (management server used as the failure management processor)

Setting item	Settings on host
Setting item	Host 1	Host 2	Host 3	Host 4
Partition name	`MS0001`	`MS0001`	`MS0002`	`MS0003`
IP address of reset path	`x.x.x.a`	`x.x.x.b`	`x.x.x.c`	`x.x.x.d`
Port number of the reset path	`ppppp`	`ppppp`	`ppppp`	`ppppp`
IP address of the management server	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`	`x.x.x.e`
Port number of the management server	`rrrrr`	`rrrrr`	`rrrrr`	`rrrrr`
Machine address	`11`	`11`	`12`	--
IP address of VMware ESXi	`y.y.y.a`	`y.y.y.a`	`y.y.y.b`	--
Port number of VMware ESXi	`default`^#	`default`^#	`rrrrr`	--
Virtual machine name	`VM0001`	`VM0002`	`VM0003`	--

Legend: --: Specification is not required.

#: If you use the port number for SSH connection (22), specify default.

In this configuration, specify use for the vmware_env operand in the HA Monitor environment settings (sysdef) on all hosts in the hot-standby switchover configuration.
