cli and cluster

[supiarmando]

Hello,

we are working on a failback scenario for removing a 1G interface and replace this with a 10G interface. 

Is there any way to setup a cluster interface without mgtm only via cli on console?

What we found so far:

Set Interface:

HostName> set interface eth1 state on
HostName> add interface eth1 ipv4-address 192.168.1.1 mask-length 24
HostName> save config

Missing: how to set up the VIP via console.

Thanks for any advice

Setting up Clusters without Dashboard is not possible (afaik) - see the ClusterXL R81 Administration Guide for details !

If you’re using VRRP instead of ClusterXL, you can set up a VIP with just the CLI.
However, the actual sync/failover still requires SmartConsole or API calls.

Good idea, sadly our actual design uses ClusterXL. We are now going to setup a snapshot before the change and will revert as a failback. This should do the trick 🙂

Thanks for the super fast reply, you are great.

You had right commands, but I believe responses are correct, VIP cant be configured via clish.

Hi @supiarmando,

There is a way on a open server to replace a 1G interface with a 10G interface without changing anything in management.
In the file 00-OS-XX.rules, replace the eth name of the 1G network card with the 10G network card.

/etc/udev/rules.d/00-OS-XX.rules
ID=="0000:02:01.0", NAME="eth0"
ID=="0000:02:05.0", NAME="eth1"
ID=="0000:02:06.0", NAME="eth2"

ID            = PCI bus ID
NAME     = Interface name

After that rebote the gateway.
