I need a solution
Environment
SFHA version = 5.1
OS = 5.9 Solaris SPARC
Please freeze the cluster before doing this activity
Agenda
Suppose you need to replace the bge2 Ethernet with ce0 (ONLINE without restarting gab, llt and hastop -all -force)
# lltconfig -t ce0 -d /dev/ce:0
# lltconfig -u bge2
- First command will add the new Ethernet heartbeat. Second command will remove the old Ethernet heartbeat. (Dont try to remove first before adding the Ethernet).
- Run the above two commands only on the Cluster node where the Ethernet card is going to replace.
Make sure the new Heartbeat
# lltstat -nvv|more
LLT node information:

ce0 UP 00:14:4F:6A:3C:48

Edit the /etc/llttab file
Replace the entry of bge2 (Old Ethernet) with ce0 (New Ethernet)
Existing configuration
root@PASSIVE-NODE # cat /etc/llttab
set-node PASSIVE-NODE
set-cluster 1111
link bge1 /dev/bge:1 – ether – -
link bge2 /dev/bge:2 – ether – -
link-lowpri bge0 /dev/bge:0 – ether – -
New Configuration
root@PASSIVE-NODE # cat /etc/llttab
set-node PASSIVE-NODE
set-cluster 1111
link bge1 /dev/bge:1 – ether – -
link ce0 /dev/ce:0 – ether – -
link-lowpri bge0 /dev/bge:0 – ether – -
View Java Console
Under Java Console=>Cluster=>System Connectivity, you will notice a cross on the heartbeat. This cross will clear when you reboot the cluster node on which the heartbeat Ethernet is replaced.
