The file

llthosts

is a database that contains one entry per system. This file

links the LLT system ID (in the first column) with the LLT host name. This file
is identical on each node in the cluster.

For example, the file /etc/llthosts contains the entries that resemble:

0

galaxy

1

nebula

The /etc/llttab file

The file

llttab

contains the information that is derived during installation

and used by the utility

lltconfig(1M)

. After installation, this file lists the

private network links that correspond to the specific system.

For example, the file /etc/llttab contains the entries that resemble:

set-node galaxy

set-cluster 2

link eth1 eth1 - ether - -

link eth2 eth2 - ether - -

If you use MAC address for the network interface, the file /etc/llttab contains
the entries that resemble:

set-node galaxy

set-cluster 2

link eth1 eth-00:04:23:AC:12:C4 - ether - -

link eth2 eth-00:04:23:AC:12:C5 - ether - -

The first line identifies the system. The second line identifies the cluster (that
is, the cluster ID you entered during installation). The next two lines begin
with the

link

command. These lines identify the two network cards that the

LLT protocol uses.

Refer to the

llttab(4)

manual page for details about how the LLT

configuration may be modified. The manual page describes the ordering of
the directives in the

llttab

file.

The /etc/gabtab file

After you install VCS, the file /etc/gabtab contains a

gabconfig(1)

command

that configures the GAB driver for use.

The file /etc/gabtab contains a line that resembles:

/sbin/gabconfig -c -nN

The

-c

option configures the driver for use. The

-nN

specifies that the cluster

is not formed until at least

N

nodes are ready to form the cluster. By default,

N

is the number of nodes in the cluster.
