Symptoms
1. Clusterware may introduce a duplicated VIP or SCAN VIP on another node in the cluster. Note that the SCAN and Node VIPs can run on any node, but must not be plumbed on more than one machine at a time.
2. On Solaris, when a duplicated IP is introduced on the system the OS log may report messages like:
note that the interface was left disabled, but ipadm or ifconfig may show the duplicated IP address:
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
..
net0/v4b static duplicate <ip address>/21 <<<<<<<<<< It shows duplicate
..
3. On Solaris, the system may try to recover (enable) the interface and may produce an ARP strom. The nodes may report:
<node 1> ip: [ID 636139 kern.notice] NOTICE: recovered address ::ffff:<ip address> on pub0:3 (somehow got propagated to pub0 of both nodes.
<node 1> ip: [ID 195243 kern.warning] WARNING: proxy ARP problem? Node '<mac address>' is using <ip address> on pub0
<node 1> last message repeated 20495 times
<node 2> ip: [ID 195243 kern.warning] WARNING: proxy ARP problem? Node '<mac address>' is using <ip address> on pub0
