Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)
NOTE: An SCF PROVIDER object must also exist or be added.
Disabling the MULTIPROV Attribute
To disable MULTIPROV for an existing CLIM object, follow these steps:
Example 17 Disabling MULTIPROV
1. Issue this command for each CLIM to display a list of providers for that CLIM:
> CLIMCMD clim-name climconfig prov -info all
2. Delete the unneeded providers and the objects using each of these providers.
a. Issue these commands to delete the objects used by the providers:
> CLIMCMD clim-name ifstop interface-name
> CLIMCMD clim-name climconfig interface —delete interface-name
b. Issue this command to delete the providers:
> CLIMCMD clim-name climconfig prov —delete prov-name
NOTE: When you delete a provider, you'll receive a message stating: Deleting the
Provider prov-name will delete the IPSec configurations and IPtables rules associated
with it. Continue? (yes/[no])?
3. Verify that each unneeded provider is deleted and check the status of each CLIM:
> CLIMCMD clim-name climconfig prov —info all
> CLIMCMD clim-name climstatus —o l
4. Turn the MULTIPROV feature OFF:
> SCF ALTER CLIM $ZZCIP.clim-name, MULTIPROV OFF, PROVIDER prov-name
NOTE: For this command to be successful, network resources on the CLIM must only belong
to the provider associated with the CLIM object.
5. Recheck the status of each CLIM to verify that the CLIM's status has been changed to
MULTIPROV OFF.
> CLIMCMD clim-name climstatus —o l
Changing Providers, Adding and Starting a CLIM (IP and Telco Only)
CLIMs that are configured with the MULTIPROV feature OFF can participate in only a single IPDATA
provider, as described under “CLIMs with MULTIPROV OFF” (page 130).
CLIMs that are configured with the MULTIPROV feature ON can have any unassigned resources
assigned to new providers without affecting any existing provider configuration, as described
under “CLIMs with MULTIPROV ON” (page 131).
Two maintenance Providers on two IP or Telco CLIMs are configured by default for the system
(see“Maintenance Provider” (page 28) for more information). If you need to add maintenance
Providers for the system, use these SCF commands:
> ADD PROVIDER $ZZCIP.ZTCP0, TYPE MAINTENANCE, CLIM clim-name1, IPADDRESS ip-addr1
> ADD PROVIDER $ZZCIP.ZTCP1, TYPE MAINTENANCE, CLIM clim-name2, IPADDRESS ip-addr2
CLIMs with MULTIPROV OFF
To change the provider to which a CLIM with MULTIPROV OFF belongs, you stop, alter, and start
it.
