Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

-force
Runs the command without prompting for confirmation.
-obeyform
Generates failover configuration information in add command format.
ERROR MESSAGES
For failover -add:
Invalid source interface.
Invalid destination interface, it should be one of the eth[1-n], bond[0-n], or ib[0-n].
Source and Destination CLIM name are same.
Failover configuration for the source interface exists.
The specified destination already exists.
An Ethernet interface can failover only to another Ethernet interface. The dest-interface
is not an Ethernet interface.
An InfiniBand interface can failover only to another InfiniBand interface. The dest-interface
is not an InfiniBand interface.
For failover -delete:
Failover configuration for the source interface does not exist.
For failover -info:
The CLIM clim-name does not exist.
The interface interface-name does not exist.
CONSIDERATIONS
Failover of virtual interfaces is not supported.
Failover configuration for a tunnel interface is not supported. Tunnel interfaces are automatically
failed over along with the parent physical or bonding interface.
There cannot be multiple failover configurations for a source interface.
Both of the interfaces in the failover pair must be configured as part of the same provider.
lo, eth0, and eth0:0 cannot be configured to fail over.
To achieve a failover configuration, two interfaces are associated as a failover pair.
Each interface can be paired with no more than one other interface and each interface of a pair
must use either the other as its failover interface or no failover interface.
At the time of configuration, the climconfig tool does not validate whether the failover configurations
follow failover pairs. The host validates the configuration when the CLIM is STARTED.
At the time of configuration, the climconfig tool does not validate whether the destination CLIM
and destination interface exist and are part of the same provider. The NonStop server host does
this validation when the CLIM is STARTED.
If src-interface is Ethernet, then the dest-interface> should also be Ethernet.
If src-interface is InfiniBand, then the dest-interface should also be InfiniBand.
Only CLIM interfaces of the same type can be paired. Ethernet and InfiniBand interface pairing is
invalid.
For Example, Ethernet interfaces can be paired with only Ethernet interfaces and InfiniBand with
only InfiniBand interfaces.
