page 254
Determining MC/ServiceGuard Cluster Information
Before configuring IPSec policies, determine the following information
about the MC/ServiceGuard cluster:
• Heartbeat IP addresses
The heartbeat IP address for each cluster node is specified using the
HEARTBEAT_IP parameter in the node definitions section of the
cluster configuration file.
• Package addresses
The package addresses are configured using the IP[
i ] statements in
the package control script.
Configuring Host IPSec Policies for Package
Addresses
On the cluster nodes, configure host IPSec policies with source IP
address set to the package addresses.
On the cluster clients, configure host ipsec policies with the destination
address set to the package addresses.
Configuring PASS Host IPSec Policies for Heartbeat
IP Addresses
Configure a PASS host IPSec policy (host IPSec policy with -action
PASS) for each pair of heartbeat IP addresses in the cluster to ensure that
MC/ServiceGuard heartbeat and intracluster control messages pass in
clear text.
Since the IPSec configuration database is the same for all cluster nodes,
you must configure a PASS host IPSec policy for each heartbeat IP
address pair in the cluster.
