The Question is:
We have two alpha's configured in a primary/backup configuration. Each of
these computers have two network interface cards installed (for a redundant
network). Now take this configuration and multiply it by two because we have
two units (we are a power
generator) running this configuration.
All four of these computers send data to a single computer elsewhere on the
network. 3 of the 4 alpha's use card "a" to talk to this computer and one
uses card "b". Cards "a" are on the same wire and cards "b" are on their own
wire, but the two wires ar
e connected through bridges (with spanning tree enabled).
My question is this. How does UCX decide which interface card to use to talk
to this remote computer? I have looked at the ucx tools and none of them seem
to tell me that destination address X is bound to card "a" or "b".
Where can I get some good documentation on how UCX makes these decisions?
The Answer is :
The OpenVMS Wizard doubts there exists documentation providing details
of the routing path-selection process, and would not expect to find
such documentation.
There are generally mechanisms available to select the prefered path,
of course.
