Re: cfgmgr brings machine up on boot address

This (IMHO) makes sense.
 
When you run cfgmgr, and it gets to the inet0 portion, it will see that
the TCP/IP stack is not configured correctly. I.E. It is running on the
service address. cfgmgr probally looks to see if hacmp is running and
since it isn't, decides that the IP address should be the boot address
and reset it back.
 
I'd expect that if hacmp was running, that cfgmgr would leave it alone
because it should understand that the IP address is under HA control.
 
This is just some wild ass speculation on my part without digging into
the changes that HA makes to the config scripts.
 
Chris.

        Let me rephrase this...the box is a 7017-S7A/AIX 4.3.3/ML10. It
at one time had HA configured and running properly. Although after some
changes the HA has not been synced and is inconsistent. We have since
shut HA down on the server. No cluster services are running at this
time. However, when I run cfgmgr from command line it reverts back to
the boot address. I plan to run cfgmgr -v next time to see if I can get
a little more detail of what might be happening but I have not had the
chance yet. I was just wondering if anyone had seen this before. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

        Why would an AIX 4.3.3/ML10 box that had HA configured on it at
one time, but no longer running, convert back to it's boot address when
cfgmgr is run?
