HP-UX IPSec and MC/ServiceGuard

Step 10: Starting HP-UX IPSec and MC/ServiceGuardStep 10: Starting HP-UX IPSec andMC/ServiceGuard

HP-UX IPSec must be running on all cluster nodes with the same HP-UX IPSec configuration files before you start the MC/ServiceGuard cluster. Use the following procedure to start HP-UX IPSec and MC/ServiceGuard.

1.Start HP-UX IPSec. There are two ways to start HP-UX IPSec:

Manually, using the ipsec_admin -startcommand.

Automatically, at system boot-up time. See Chapter 3, “Step 9: Configuring HP-UX IPSec to Start Automatically” on page 109 to configure HP-UX IPSec to start automatically at system boot-up time.

2.After you have started HP-UX IPSec on all nodes in the cluster, you can start MC/ServiceGuard using the cmruncl command, as described in the MC/ServiceGuard product documentation.

3.After the MC/ServiceGuard cluster is running, you can use the output from the ipsec_report -cachecommand to verify that HP-UX IPSec is allowing heartbeat messages to pass in clear text.

Adding a Node to a Running Cluster

If you have a running MC/ServiceGuard cluster that uses HP-UX IPSec and want to add a node to that cluster, you must install the cluster HP-UX IPSec configuration files and start HP-UX IPSec on that node before adding it to the cluster.
