Hello Lars, I am aware of the mac parameter of IPaddr2 being afaik and only used in the "cluster ip load. That is why I said, I had to do my own bash scripting to get the floating MAC address working for Heartbeat R1.
The script that I have written is working pretty effective with no issue. I am going to post the little script once I get it cleanup and add useful comments to it.
