3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Appendix B: Error and Log File Messages 345

PanPulse then fails over the active interface to another network interface

and reports the following. (You will also see this message for other

situations in which PanPulse chooses a new active interface.)

Selected new active interface <ethn> address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

If PanPulse cannot communicate with all other active servers over a new

interface, it will report the following message:

Unable to fail over to another interface

Network Interface Requirements Are Not Met

PanPulse generates error messages when the requirements for a network

interface are not met.

Flags

Matrix Server requires that the following flags be set on network

interfaces used in a matrix:

UP, RUNNING, BROADCAST, MULTICAST. If any

of these flags are not set, you will see one of the following messages. The

ifconfig(8) man page describes how to set the required flags.

panpulse cannot use interface <ethn> because the required

interface flags (UP, RUNNING, BROADCAST, MULTICAST) are not

set. See ifconfig(8).

panpulse will not provide service until the required

interface flags (UP, RUNNING, BROADCAST, MULTICAST) are set

on interface <ethn>. See ifconfig(8).

IPv4

Only IPv4 is supported. If another address family is specified for the

network, PanPulse will report an error such as the following:

Interface <ethn> has addrtype AF_INET6, skipping

Separate Networks

Each network interface card must be on a separate network. If this is not

the case, PanPulse will report the following error.

Interface <ethn> will not be used by panpulse because it

exists on the same network as interface <ethn>. This

configuration is not supported by PolyServe Matrix Server.
