hacmp 5.1 on aix 5.1 - sync issues with hw addr not unique

Hi,

Trying to define a new service ip address to one of the nodes,
something went wrong and now I'm getting :

ERROR: Hardware address 0.de.ad.be.ef.82 is not unique between adapter
porthos on node porthos and adapter en2* on node aramis

Being aramis and porthos the 2 nodes on the cluster, and the service
ip_address I wanted to change was on Porthos.

I changed the hosts files, and set HACMP to reload configurations from
the operating system, and from there on things went bad.

Any pointers on how to straighten things out?

PS : I didn't make a snapshot before screwing things around, and the
lastest one I have has old LV sizes, does this matter? Or can I get
around this doing an exportvg & importvg etc. ?

Alex,

You have to set the alternate etheradress on 1 of the 2 with another
deadbeef number (i.e. 83) The mac-addr will be the same now.
