Systems |Components ——————————————|—————————————————————————– PG Primary, PG Standby1, and PG Standby2 | Primary / standby nodes running Advanced Server 13 and Failover Manager 4.2

Specifying VIP¶

In the cluster properties file, provide the hostname or IP address inthe virtual.ip property. Specify the corresponding prefix in thevirtual.ip.prefix property. Use the virtual.ip.interface property toprovide the network interface used by the VIP. By default, thevirtual.ip and virtual.ip.prefix values are the same across all theagents.

The specified virtual IP address is assigned only to the primary node ofthe cluster. If you specify virtual.ip.single=true, the same VIP addressis used on the new primary during a failover. Specify avalue of false to provide a unique IP address for each node of thecluster.
