IPMP groups w/ single aggregations on S10 w/ SC 3.3u2
Hello Experts,
we are using IPMP groups w/ single aggregations on S10 SC 3.3u2. Load balancing and failover is handled transparently and completely by the underlying aggregation framework. That said we are having i.e. IPMP group sc_ipmp0 which includes only one aggregation called aggr1 consisting of NIC vnet1 and vnet2.
Following questions:
Q1: Do we need to mark the single aggregation as "non-failover" aggregation in /etc/hostname.<AGGR> by adding the -failover option ?
Q2: What is the difference between ifconfig failover and -failover option in this scenario ?
We noticed that SC adopts /etc/hostname.<AGGR> automatically during cluster setup in case the aggregation has not already been configured in an IPMP group. It creates IPMP groups and marks single aggregations as non-failover.
