2.3.2.2 Accessing the HPI Daemons via Virtual IP Addresses

In Centellis 2000 R3.0/4411 systems, you can access the ATCA-MF106/SAM1411 blades via

virtual IP addresses. One virtual IP address is automatically linked to the currently active ATCA-

MF106/SAM1411 blade. The following table shows which IP address this is for the different

systems.

If you want to access the HPI daemon via the virtual IP address, then you need to specify the

respective IP address in your configuration file. In a Centellis 4411 context for example, an

entry might look like this:

[ShelfFrodo]

Daemon=192.168.20.171

Port=4743

Table 2-8 Virtual IP Addresses Corresponding to Active ATCA-MF106/SAM1411 Blade

System Virtual IP of Active ATCA-MF106/SAM1411

Centellis 2000 R3.0 172.16.<shelfID>.171

Access is possible either via the backplane or

via the ATCA-MF106 face plate connector

UPLINK ETH, which provides an uplink to the

system’s base interface.

Centellis 4411 192.168.20.171

It is important to note that the HPI-B library does not automatically switch between the two

interfaces towards the two switch blades when a switchover or failover between the two

switches occurs.

This becomes a problem in situations when one switch blade fails and the connection to the

currently active ATCA-MF106/SAM1411 is interrupted. In such situations it becomes

necessary that an underlying mechanism, such as for example a bonding driver, switches to

the second interface and so that the active ATCA-MF106/SAM1411 can be accessed via the

second interface.

Before accessing the HPI daemon via the virtual IP address, you must make sure that such a

switching mechanism exists. Refer also to the respective system guides for information

about the system network topologies.
