I got 1 response from Wendy Fong & a confirmation from Compaq Support
while discussing the problem.

The "route add" command can be used to add these entries to the
routes table on the fly with no impact on the TruCluster ASE services.


Original question:

> We have 2 AS 4100s setup in a ASE. We are running DU V4.0D with Patch
> Kit 6 & TruCluster 1.5.

> The primary network path is through FDDI adapters. Back in February
> we connected the Ethernet cards with a cable with a twist to be used

> in the asecdb is as follows (with the names changed to protect the

> Member name: member1
> Member IP address: 10.8.212.2
> Daemon communicaiton use: Primary
> Member aliveness ping use: Backup
> Monitor interface setting: monitor
> Member name: member1e
> Member IP address: 16.8.17.1
> Daemon communicaiton use: Backup
> Member aliveness ping use: Primary
> Monitor interface setting: ingore
> Member name: member2
> Member IP address: 10.8.211.2
> Daemon communicaiton use: Primary
> Member aliveness ping use: Backup
> Monitor interface setting: monitor
> Member name: member2e
> Member IP address: 16.8.17.2
> Daemon communicaiton use: Backup
> Member aliveness ping use: Primary
> Monitor interface setting: ignore
