On a high-end server, one Service Processor is configured as active and the other is configured as standby. The XSCF network between the two Service Processors allows them to exchange system management information and, in case of failover, to change roles.

Optionally, a takeover IP address can be set up, which is hosted on the currently active Service Processor. External clients can use this takeover IP address to connect to whichever Service Processor is active. Selection of a takeover IP address does not affect failover.

When you set or change the information related to the XSCF network, including the Service Processor host name, DNS domain name, DNS server, IP address, netmask, or routing information, you must make the changes effective in XSCF and reset the Service Processor. This is done with the applynetwork and rebootxscf commands.

You configure the XSCF network with these commands:

■setnetwork

■setroute

■sethostname (if using DNS)

■setnameserver (if using DNS)

■applynetwork
