HACMP - Third party takeover

• The goal of IP Address Takeover is to make the server's service address highly available and to give the clients the possibility of always connecting to the same IP address

  • Design the network topology.
  • Define a network mask.
  • Define IP addresses (adapter identifiers) for each node's service and standby adapters.
  • Define a boot address for each service adapter that can be taken over, if you are using IP address takeover or rotating resources.
  • Define an alternate hardware address for each service adapter that can have its IP address taken over, if you are using hardware address swapping.
