x25stop -d /dev/x25_0l1

XOL Package Definition

An XOL SG package is required to configure a highly available XOL interface on all nodes in the SG cluster. This package allows HP MC/Service Guard to automatically:

Assign a unique MAC address (using the lanadmin command) to the LAN card in use.

Start the X.25 link (x25init command) when the X.25 package starts.

Run the command x25ifstate to monitor the state of the XOL interface.

Stop the XOL interface when the monitoring command detects a failure.

 

 

To define the X.25 package, you require the following attributes:

 

 

Package Name

Identifies the X.25 package, for example, xol_pkg1.

 

 

Service Name

Monitors the XOL interface to be managed, for

 

 

 

example, xol_SG_service1

 

 

Service Command Monitors the XOL interface status, for example,

 

 

 

x25ifstate

 

 

To configure XOL remote failover, complete the following steps:

Step

1.

To enable XOL HA feature for the system, run the following command:

 

 

x25init -enableXOLHA

 

 

 

NOTE

 

HA feature must be enabled on all the nodes configured in the SG

 

 

cluster.

 

 

 

 

Step

2.
