Thanks to Blake for this response. To: Christopher Ciborowski Subject: Re: IP multipathing and Oracle, apache I have used it with Apache before. No issues, except that the multipathing takes 3 IP addresses total. While the failover interface will take over the IP address of the failed interface, you will need 2 extra /real/ IP's. I would have liked to be able to just use 1 IP, since they can be scarce. It's possible that I completely overlooked something during setup, but docs.sun.com basically says the same thing. If IP address space isn't an issue for you then it shouldn't be a problem. Oracle /shouldn't/ have any problems with it, as long as it is binding the listener to an IP rather than an interface. Also take into consideration the fact that you have to set local-mac-address (eeprom) to true so that each interface uses a different MAC address. This may not affect oracle, but we have some apps that encode the MAC address in an MD5 checksum, which fails with this type of a setup. Let me know if you find a way of doing this with no extra IP's. Good luck. -Blake Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis? > All, > > Was wondering if anyone has used Solaris 8 IP multipathing with Oracle or > Apache. Issues?
