If a file named etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:02:B3:DB:38:FE does
not exist, do the following task:

Create the file.

If the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 exists, then copy the contents
of this file into etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:02:B3:DB:38:FE.

Add the following to the end of the file named
etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:02:B3:DB:38:FE,

PERSISTENT_NAME=eth0

Perform the procedure for all the interfaces that the

ifconfig -a

command

displays.

To configure interfaces to be up before starting LLT

1

For each network interface that you want LLT to use, find its MAC address
by running the

ifconfig

command:

#

ifconfig eth0

eth0

Link encap:Ethernet

HWaddr 00:0C:0D:08:C4:32

Where

eth0

is the sample network interface name. The output displays

00:0C:0D:08:C4:32 as the interface’s MAC address.

2

Navigate to the config file in the /etc/sysconfig/network directory:

#

cd /etc/sysconfig/network

3

Open the config file in an editor.

4

Append the string eth-id-macaddress to the MANDATORY_DEVICES list in
the config file. Separate each address with a space, for example:

MANDATORY_DEVICES="eth-id-00:0C:0D:08:C4:31

eth-id-00:0C:0D:08:C4:32"

Setting up inter-system communication

When you install VCS using the installvcs program, to install and configure the
entire cluster at one time, make sure that communication between systems exists.
By default the installer uses ssh. You must grant root privileges for the system
