To construct a single master interfaces file from several individual interfaces files:
Concatenate the individual interfaces files.
Make a copy of the file.
Use an ASCII text editor to modify the copy of the concatenated file.
When you manually edit an interfaces file,
be sure that, for each entry, each line following the first line
begins with a <tab> character.
The following elements must be correct and unique in the resulting file:
servername – each server entry in the interfaces file must be unique. The server name entries for each cluster, and for each instance within the cluster, must be unique within the interfaces file.
A combination of the host machine’s network name or address and instance’s port or object number.
If the original interfaces file was created when there was only one machine on the network, its entries may have the word “loghost” in place of the machine name (address). If loghost is present, replace it with the machine name.
