add route in cluster environment

aaaix

Hello,

i have a question about adding a route on one node in a 2 node-cluster environment.
1. Can I just add a new route, not changing anything else, using smitty route?
2. This node is using en0, en1, en2. Can I add this new route using any of them, such as en0?
3. Will it be any problem because I only add this new route to one node, but not both nodes?
4. hacmp won't complain anything right?
5. is it smitty route the only thing i need to do? Do i need to do anything else?

I don't know much about hacmp. sorry if the qestion is too silly for most of you here. Thanks a lot!!!!! Appreciate your help!!

the route only be added on the active node with the service ip in hacmp script，when it takeover，the route will be deleted。

Thanks a lot for your input, but I still have some questions. Why adding an extra route will change the hacmp script? Do you mean adding a new route will change the hacmp configuration? I am not familiar with hacmp, but it doesn't sound... normal to me. Are you sure??

The only thing I am not sure is where the program will be running in that node. Maybe in a regular FS, maybe GPFS. Therefore, I am planning to add this new route on both nodes in my 2-node environment. Just to play safe.

What do you think? Anyone know? Thanks!!

why not ask the network engineer to add the route on the network switches for you? then u do not worry about it on the host.

what network switches are you talking about? buy a new network adapter? i don't understand what you meant.

anyway, i cann't ask network eng to do it because network team forwarded this job to me. I agree this should be a system adm. job to make this change in the server.
