This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware.

Syntax and Parameters

      -netnum network_number [-skip] [-verbose]

Table A-20 srvctl add vip Parameters

Parameter Description 
-node node_name

The name of the node on which you are adding the VIP.

 
-address {VIP_name|ip}/netmask
[/if1[|if2|...]]

This specification creates a traditional VIP node application on the specified node.

You can specify one VIP_name or address, along with an IPv4 netmask or IPv6 prefix length.

 
-netnum network_number

The network number from which VIPs are obtained. The default network number is 1.

 
-skip

Specify this parameter to skip checking the reachability of the VIP address.

 
-verbose

Verbose output

Note:

You cannot have multiple VIPs on the same net number (subnet or interface pair) on the same node.

Example

An example of this command is:

# srvctl add network -netnum 2 -subnet 192.168.16.0/255.255.255.0
# srvctl add vip -node node7 -address 192.168.16.17/255.255.255.0 -netnum 2

The first command creates a network number, 2, and the second command adds a VIP to this network. You can specify the network number after the -netnum parameter in other SRVCTL commands.
