that this started as an HACMP 2.1 cluster and keeps getting upgraded as it
moves to new hardware – so we’re still doing IPAT and don’t
have either a persistent IP address or IP aliasing to keep the boot address
around.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

are getting at, you will want to setup where the resource groups with the
resource groups ID as a server. Then you set up a persistent IP - ( if
your running HACMP 5.x this is standard) that you use for each
LPAR. Then in you resource startup you enable reporting ( you will need
to spoof you hostname on the reports) and in you resource shutdown scripts
disable the reporting for this resource although you may want to send a report
that you are going down to Hobbit this could be a custom report of status on
your screen. The node up and down could spawn updates along with the hacmp.out
log file or a subset.<br>
You could also make your reporting HACMP aware and they could run all the time
but only report if they own the resource group.<br>
You also have advance event monitoring within HACMP that could spawn a report
based on an event in real time. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I need to split the
monitoring for SAP and Oracle from the monitoring of<br>
the host it runs on -- because, in an IBM HACMP environment, the<br>
workload can move. So the oracle tests, *some* of the disk space tests,<br>
and *some* of the proc tests move from one box to another. <br>
<br>
So does the primary IP address.<br>
<br>
I need to be able to track '<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'
the box (the hostname does NOT<br>
move) as well as '<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'
the IP address. '<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'
the address could<br>
actually be pointing to the 'thames' or '<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">yukon</st1:place></st1:State>'
boxes. At which time, <br>
'<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'
the box will be responding to the 'colorado-bt' adapter<br>
address (if '<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'
the box is up at all).<br>
<br>
I can get some of what I want by running two clients, one for '<st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">colorado</st1:place></st1:State>'<br>
the box, and one for 'SAP' or some other such synthetic name. The <br>
biggest two challenges I see are splitting the OS filesystems from the<br>
application filesystems for freespace reporting, and the shifting IP<br>
address. I may have an 'out' on the IP address in the future, if I can<br>
migrate to what IBM calls 'aliasing' -- where they add the running<br>
address as a second address on the adapter and respond to both.<br>
<br>
And to make this a bit more fun, I have THREE of these silly<br>
environments to work with. <br>
<br>
Henrik, is there any way to hang two different IP addresses on the same<br>
bb-host entry such that the network connectivity test will be happy if<br>
either one responds? They are always on the same IP network, just <br>
different host addresses (our convention is to add 100 to the last octet<br>
to get the boot-time address for the matching run-time address).<br>
<br>
Is anyone else doing something silly like this?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
