Configured as described in the following sections.

Setting up /etc/llthosts

The file llthosts(4M) is a database. This file contains one entry per system that
links the LLT system ID (in the first column) with the LLT host name. You must
create an identical file on each node in the cluster.

Use vi, or another editor, to create the file /etc/llthosts that contains the entries
that resemble:

0 north

1 south

Setting up /etc/llttab

The /etc/llttab file must specify the system’s ID number (or, its node name), and
the network links that correspond to the system. In addition, the file can contain
other directives. Refer also to the sample llttab file in /opt/VRTSllt.

See

“LLT directives”

on page 147.

Use vi or another editor, to create the file /etc/llttab that contains the entries that
resemble:

set-node north

set-cluster 2

link eth1 eth1 - ether - -

link eth2 eth2 - ether - -

The first line must identify the system where the file exists. In the preceeding
example, the value for

set-node

can be: north, 0, or the file name /etc/nodename.

The file needs to contain the name of the system (north in this example) to use
these choices. The next two lines, beginning with the link command, identify the
two private network cards that the LLT protocol uses. The order of directives must
be the same as in the sample file /opt/VRTSllt/sample-llttab.
