The interfaces file for clusters must include entries for the cluster server and all instances.
The syntax for the interfaces file is:
instance_name query network_protocol ether machine_name port_number . . . cluster_server_name query network_protocol ether machine_name port_number
Where:
instance_name – instance for which you are making this interfaces file entry.
network_protocol – network protocol used for the instance.
machine_name – name of the machine on which the instance runs.
port_number – port number used to connect to this instance.
cluster_server_name – name of the cluster server.
This example includes the instances “ase1,” “ase2,” and “ase3,” on machines “blade1,” “blade2,” and “blade3,” running in the cluster “mycluster”:
ase1 master tcp ether blade1 19786 query tcp ether blade1 19786 ase2 master tcp ether blade2 19786 query tcp ether blade2 19786 ase3 master tcp ether blade3 19786 query tcp ether blade3 19786 mycluster query tcp ether blade1 19786 query tcp ether blade2 19786 query tcp ether blade3 19786
