To enable cluster resource services, certain attribute settings
are required in the TCP/IP configuration of your network.
You must set these attributes before you can add any node to a cluster:
- Set IP datagram forwarding to *YES using the CHGTCPA (Change TCP/IP Attributes) command if
you plan to use an iSeries™ server as the router to communicate with
other networks and you have no other routing protocols running on that server.
- Set the INETD server to START. See INETD server for information about starting the INETD
server.
- Set User Datagram Protocol (UDP) CHECKSUM to *YES using the CHGTCPA
(Change TCP/IP Attributes) command.
- Set MCAST forwarding to *YES if you are using bridges to connect your
token ring networks.
- If you are using OptiConnect for i5/OS™ to
communicate between cluster nodes, start the QSOC subsystem by specifying
STRSBS(QSOC/QSOC).
