Creating intercluster LIFs for remote FabricPool tiering on the primary system

In this section, we will now create the intercluster LIFs on the primary system that will be used to connect to our S3 SVM on the secondary system.

  • The underlying physical or logical network port must have been configured to the administrative up status.
  • The LIF service policy must already exist.
  1. Go to the Storage Manager for DM Series and do as follows:
    1. Select Network > Overview.
    2. Click +Add under the Network Interfaces tab.
    3. Select Intercluster for the role.
    4. Assign a name and a home node for the new LIF.
    5. Assign an IP address and a netmas for the new LIF.
    6. Click Save.
  2. Verify that the intercluster LIFs were created:
    1. Select Network > Overview.
    2. Locate the ports that were created and select one..
    3. Click Edit.
    4. Verify that the port is enabled and the role is intercluster.
