Information in this document applies to any platform.
Purpose
This document is intended to explain what is ora.cluster_interconnect.haip resource in 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
Scope and Application
This document is intended for RAC Database Administrators and Oracle Support engineers.
11gR2 Grid Infrastructure Redundant Interconnect and ora.cluster_interconnect.haip
Redundant Interconnect without any 3rd-party IP failover technology (bond, IPMP or similar) is supported natively by Grid Infrastructure starting from 11.2.0.2. Multiple private network adapters can be defined either during the installation phase or afterward using the oifcfg. Oracle Database, CSS, OCR, CRS, CTSS, and EVM components in 11.2.0.2 employ it automatically.
Grid Infrastructure can activate a maximum of four private network adapters at a time even if more are defined. The ora.cluster_interconnect.haip resource will start one to four link local HAIP on private network adapters for interconnect communication for Oracle RAC, Oracle ASM, and Oracle ACFS etc.
Grid automatically picks link local addresses from reserved 169.254.*.* subnet for HAIP, and it will not attempt to use any 169.254.*.* address if it’s already in use for another purpose. With HAIP, by default, interconnect traffic will be load balanced across all active interconnect interfaces, and corresponding HAIP address will be failed over transparently to other adapters if one fails or becomes non-communicative. .
The number of HAIP addresses is decided by how many private network adapters are active when Grid comes up on the first node in the cluster . If there’s only one active private network, Grid will create one; if two, Grid will create two; and if more than two, Grid will create four HAIPs. The number of HAIPs won’t change even if more private network adapters are activated later, a restart of clusterware on all nodes is required for new adapters to become effective.
When Oracle Clusterware is fully up, resource haip should show status of ONLINE:
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t -init
..
ora.cluster_interconnect.haip
1 ONLINE ONLINE racnode1
Case 1: Single Private Network Adapter
If multiple physical network adapters are bonded together at the OS level and presented as a single device name, for example bond0, it’s still considered a single network adapter environment. If only one private network adapter is defined, such as eth1 in the example below, one virtual IP will be created by HAIP. Here is what’s expected when Grid is up and running:
$ $GRID_HOME/bin/oifcfg getif
eth1 10.1.0.128 global cluster_interconnect
eth3 10.1.0.0 global public$ $GRID_HOME/bin/oifcfg iflist -p -n

eth1 169.254.0.0 UNKNOWN 255.255.0.0
eth3 10.1.0.0 PRIVATE 255.255.255.128Note: subnet 169.254.0.0 on eth1 is started by resource haip.

For pre-11.2.0.2 instance, by default it will still use the real private IP; to take advantage of the new feature, init.ora parameter cluster_interconnects can be updated each time Grid is restarted .

How to Setup IPMP as Cluster Interconnect
Applies to:
Oracle Server – Enterprise Edition – Version: 10.1.0.2 to 11.1.0.7 – Release: 10.1 to 11.1
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Sun Solaris SPARC (64-bit)
Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit)
Updated on 14-Jan-2009
Goal
The goal is to show how IPMP can be used as cluster interconnect in a RAC environment.
For Oracle database 11gR2 follow note 1069584.1
Solution
To start with the IPMP setup use Note 283107.1.
The IP addresses have been changed to show how it works:
- Physical IP : 192.168.0.99
- Test IP for ce0 : 192.168.0.65
- Test IP for ce1 : 192.168.0.66
Oifcfg requires an interface to be used to configure the private interface. This can not be done with IPMP, because you always have two interfaces and the physical IP will be switched to the active interface.
The rest of the documentation is specific to pre-11gR2 releases. This information is not pertinent for 11gR2. Please do not remove cluster_interconnect information from 11gR2 Clusterware releases.
The recommended solution is not to configure any private interface.
The following steps need to done to use IPMP for the cluster interconnect:
1. If the private interface has already been configured delete the interface with ‘oifcfg delif’
2. Set the CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS parameter in the spfile/init.ora to the physical IP which is swapped by IPMP.
3. Set the CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS also for your ASM instances
ATTENTION:
Oracle Clusterware must also use the same physical interface, otherwise an interface down will only be recognized by the instances and an instance is evicted after 10 minutes (the mechanism is called IMR). Oracle Clusterware uses the private hostname for communication, so the private hostname in /etc/hosts must be set to the physical IP (192.168.0.99) that is switched from one interface to the other. The same private hostname must also be used in the Oracle Clusterware configuration during installation.
