Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes
General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes
Note that the status of the icon representing the node in Node Bank
window does not change color immediately when the node in the HACMP
cluster goes down: it will change color only after ITO has determined
that it cannot contact the control agent on that node.
Installation Prerequisites for AIX HACMP Agents
The following software versions are supported:
• AIX 4.2 / 4.3 (DCE agents)
• HACMP 4.2.2
AIX HACMP Agents: General Pre-installation Tasks
You must set the IP alias that is used by the ITO agents during and after
the installation process on each node on which you wish to run the ITO
agent. To set the IP alias:
on AIX v4.3 1. Use the smit menus.
2. In a shell, enter the following command:
smit tcpip
Then select from the menu bar:
Further Configuration -> Network
Interface Selection -> Configure Aliases
-> Add an IPV4 Network Alias
3. Select the desired interface, eg: en0
4. Enter values for the IP address and network mask
on AIX v<4.3 1. Use the following command:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig en0 alias
where is the IP address of the node
on which you want to install the ITO agent for AIX
HACMP.
2. This command can also be included in the file
/etc/rc.net so that the IP alias is set
automatically when the OS is booted.
