Deleting a Communication Path
Help for an explanation of each choice.
3. Select the Local Server from the list box and click Next.
4. Select one or more Remote Servers in the list box. If a remote server is not listed in the list
box (i.e. it is not yet connected to the cluster), you may enter it using Add. You must make
sure that the network addresses for both the local and remote servers are resolvable (for
example, with DNS or added to the /etc/hosts file). Click Next.
5. Select either TCP or TTY for Device Type and click Next.
6. Select one or more Local IP Addresses if the Device Type was set for TCP. Select the
Local TTY Device if the Device Type was set to TTY. Click Next.
7. Select the Remote IP Address if the Device Type was set for TCP. Select the Remote TTY
Device if the Device Type was set to TTY. Click Next.
8. Enter or select the Priority for this comm path if the Device Type was set for TCP. Enter or
select the Baud Rate for this Comm Path if the Device Type was set to TTY. Click Next.
9. Click Create. A message should be displayed indicating the network connection is
successfully created. Click Next.
10. If you selected multiple Local IP Addresses or multiple Remote Servers and the Device Type
was set for TCP, then you will be taken back to Step 6 to continue with the next Comm Path.
If you selected multiple Remote Servers and the Device Type was set for TTY, then you will
be taken back to Step 5 to continue with the next Comm Path.
11. Click Done when presented with the concluding message.
You can verify the comm path by viewingthe Server Properties Dialog orby entering the command
lcdstatus -q. Seethe LCD(1M)man page for information on usinglcdstatus. You should see
an ALIVEstatus.
In addition, check the server icon in the right pane of the GUI. If this is the first comm path that has
been created, the server icon shows a yellow heartbeat, indicating that one comm path is ALIVE, but
there is no redundant comm path.
The server icon will display a green heartbeat when there are at least two comm paths ALIVE.
IMPORTANT:When using IPv6 addresses to create a comm path, statically assigned addresses
should be used instead of auto-configured/stateless addresses as the latter may change over time
which will cause the comm path to fail.
If the comm path does not activate after a few minutes, verify that the paired server's computer name
is correct. If using TTY comm paths, verify that the cable connection between the two servers is
correct and is not loose. Usethe portio(1M)command if necessary to verify the operation of the
TTY connection.
