4.6. Setup Network Parameters
•Install and configure all network interfaces and corresponding network connections.
Refer to IBM's internal network technologies home page for resources on configuring and tuning networks and TCP/IP.
The network interfaces section of the lsnode report from each node shows the network interfaces that are configured.
To determine how many network interfaces are available on (AIX):
%lsdev
%netstat
To determine how many network interfaces are available (Linux):
% netstat
To determine if an SP switch is available (AIX):
%lsdev -C -S a -l css0
%netstat -i
To view all IP addresses associated with a local host on AIX (i.e., for all network interfaces): Note: Does not work for SP switch interface.
% for x in `lsdev
done
To view additional information for each network interface (AIX):
% for x in `lsdev
lsattr
For
To test whether an IP address is reachable
%ping -c 1 <ipAddress>
•Isolate Kerberos communication to the designated control network(s) on all HPSS and DB2 nodes in order to separate the HPSS control and data paths.
•Place all HPSS, DB2, and Kerberos server node IP addresses in a local host table (/etc/hosts). For AIX, configure the node to use the table as backup in the event of a DNS failure. The file /etc/netsvc.conf should be modified to look like the following:
hosts=bind,local
The netsvc.conf file is used to specify the ordering of host name resolution. In the above ordering, DNS will be used first; if the host name is not found, then the local /etc/host file
