To make it appear that a
virtual user has its own IP address during a schedule run, configure
IP aliases at each remote AIX® location
Procedure
- Use the ifconfig command to create an IP alias. To
have the alias created when the system starts, add the ifconfig command
to the /etc/rc.net script.
The
following example creates an alias on the en1 network interface. The
alias must be defined on the same subnet as the network interface.
# ifconfig en1 alias 9.37.207.29 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
The
following example deletes the alias:
# ifconfig en1 delete 9.37.207.29
- Set the schedule so that the virtual users will use the IP aliases during a run; for
information, see Enabling virtual users to use IP aliases.
Results
When you run the schedule, it will give the impression that
the network traffic is being generated from multiple hosts.
