Appendix C Using FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet in a
Cluster Environment
This Appendix outlines the supported functions and setup procedure for the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 4.1 or later or the FUJITSU
PCI GigabitEthernet 5.0 or later interface when used in a cluster environment (PRIMECLUSTER).
C.1 Cluster Environment Support
The FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 4.1 or later or the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 5.0 or later driver support the following cluster
features.
- Operation standby mode
- 1:n operation standby mode
- Mutual standby mode
- TCP/IP communication (public LAN)
- A VLAN interface can not be used as a cluster interconnect.
- The JumboFrame function can be used as a cluster interconnect. When you change MTU from a default value (9000), please set up
by the fjgi.conf file or dladm(1M) command (Solaris 11 only). For details, please refer to "Method 2: Specify in fjgi.conf"or "Method
3: Specify in dladm(1M) command" (Solaris 11 only) of "3.5.2 JumboFrame Setup".
The following table shows the supported failover mode for an office LAN.
Failover Mode Support Status
IP address Supported
MAC address Supported (*1)
IP address + MAC address Supported (*1)
*1: Supported by PRIMECLUSTER 4.1A10 or later.
C.2 Cluster Environment Setup Procedure
Set up the cluster environment in the same way as an Ethernet driver (i.e. bge driver). Follow "Setting up the Network" in the
PRIMECLUSTER manual.
Note that the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet driver resource name is "fjgi".
C.3 Notes
- "PRIMECLUSTER 4.1 or later" is required when using the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet driver. If an earlier version of cluster
software is used, FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet driver cannot be used as the cluster interconnect or for IP address fail-over for an
office LAN.
- A FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet interface used as a VLAN interface cannot be used as the cluster interconnect.
