There are situations where you must select a preferred IP address,
or a range of IP addresses that you want the high availability manager to
use for communication within a core group.
Before you begin
Determine the transport protocol the core group associated with the
high availability manager uses for communications.
About this task
Deprecated feature: Support for unicast transports
is deprecated. If the core group is configured to use unicast transports,
you should change the configuration settings to channel framework transports
wherever it is possible to do so.

You should only set a preferred
IP address if you want to restrict the high availability manager communications
to a specific IP address. To configure a preferred IP address, complete the
following steps:
Procedure
- Make a list of all of the product processes that are on this machine.
Include both application server processes and administrative processes,
such as node agents or the deployment manager, in this list. If a preferred
IP is set for one process on a machine, it should be set for all processes
on that machine
- Determine the textual form of the preferred IP address. For
example, 9.5.87.124 or 10.1.2.2.
- Update the IP address specified for the DCS unicast address for
all processes identified in the first substep with the textual form of the
preferred IP address.
- In the administrative console, navigate to the settings page
for either an application server, a node agent, or a deployment manager.
For an application server process click .
For
a node agent process click .
For a deployment manager process
click .
- Select the appropriate process.
- In the Additional Properties section, , click to bring up the list of ports for
the selected process. Then click on the port named .
- Enter the preferred IP address in the Host field.
Following
are the allowed values for the Host field:
- * (asterisk), which allows high availability manager communications on
all NICs. This is the default value, but cannot be used if your processes
must interact with V6.0 or V6.0.1 processes.
- Text IP address, such as 10.1.1.2, which restricts high availability manager
communications to the specified NIC. Text IP addresses can be used if the
host is configured to use a single IP address.
- A string host name of the form myhost.mydomain.
- Click ,
and then click to save
your changes.
What to do next
The high availability manager uses the specified IP address for communication
within the core group.
