High

Availability
Understanding
ANM

High

Availability
ANM
Server
ANM
high

availability

consists

of

two

nodes,

which

both

run

the

ANM

software.

Each

node

must

have
at
least

two

network

interfaces

as

follows:


A
primary
interface,
normally

used

to

access
the
node.


A
heartbeat

i

nterface,
which
i

s
used
t

o

provide

additional
redundancy.

The

heartbeat
interfaces
of
the
two

nodes

must

be

connected

vi

a

a

c

rossover

Ethernet

connection.


The
two
Ethernet

interfaces

used

on

one

of

the

hosts

should

match

the
two
interfaces
used

on
the
other
host

,

with

regard

to

the

subnets

t

hey

participate

in.

For

example,

if

HA

Node

1

uses

eth0

for


the
primary

interface

and

eth1

for

the

heartbeat

interface,

then

HA

Node

2

should

also

use

eth0

for
the
primary

interface

and

eth1

for

the

heartbeat

interface.
Note
ANM
does

not

configure

the

primary

and

heartbeat
IP
addresses

of
the
nodes’

interfaces.

You

must
manually
configure

the

node’s

i

nterfaces.
When
you

installed

ANM,

you

provided

values

for

high

availability

parameters,

determined

the

node

IDs
of
the

two

nodes

designated

as

Node

1

and

Node

2.

additional

information

about

the

installation
parameters,

Commands

for

ANM

High

Availability

Processes
You
use

two

commands

to

view

ANM

processes:


Use
the

/opt/CSCOanm/bin/anm-tool

command

to

start

and

stop

the

ANM

processes

and

to

view
the
status

of

the

ANM

processes.


Use
the

/opt/CSCOanm/bin/anm-ha

command

to

check

high

availability

configuration

or

to

force
a
node

to

become

standby

or

active.
