HP-UX IPSec and MC/ServiceGuard

Step 2: Configuring HP-UX Host IPSec Policies for MC/ServiceGuard

Step 2: Configuring HP-UX Host IPSecPolicies for MC/ServiceGuard

Overview

Use the procedure described in Chapter 3, “Step 1: Configuring Host IPSec Policies” on page 69 to configure host IPSec policies, with the following additional requirements:

Configure PASS host IPSec policies for all packets sent between the heartbeat IP addresses. This ensures that MC/ServiceGuard does not unnecessarily reform the cluster because of delays introduced by HP-UX IPSec. This also ensures that HP-UX IPSec does not encrypt, authenticate, or discard other MC/ServiceGuard control messages.

If you are using the optional MC/ServiceGuard Quorum Server, remote command execution, ServiceGuard Manager, or ServiceGuard Cluster Object Manager services, you must configure HP-UX IPSec so it does not discard control messages for these services. Table 8-1 on page 254 provides a summary of the port numbers and protocols for these services.

This section describes the MC/ServiceGuard cluster information you need to determine before configuring host IPSec policies. It also describes how to configure host IPSec policies for package addresses, heartbeat IP addresses, and optional MC/ServiceGuard services. This section also contains a summary of the port numbers and protocols used by MC/ServiceGuard services.
