IP network information worksheet for site B
You must obtain IP addresses and other network information for the second MetroCluster site (site B) from your network administrator before you configure the system.
Site B switch information
When you cable the system, you need a host name and management IP address for each cluster switch.
| Cluster switch | Host name | IP address | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interconnect 1 | ||||
| Interconnect 2 | ||||
| Management 1 | ||||
| Management 2 |
Site B cluster creation information
When you first create the cluster, you need the following information:
| Type of information | Your values |
|---|---|
| Cluster name Example used in this guide: site_B | |
| DNS domain | |
| DNS name servers | |
| Location | |
| Administrator password |
Site B node information
For each node in the cluster, you need a management IP address, a network mask, and a default gateway.
| Node | Port | IP address | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node 1 Example used in this guide: controller_B_1 | ||||
| Node 2 Example used in this guide: controller_B_2 |
Site B LIFs and ports for MetroCluster IP back-end connectivity
For each node in the cluster, you need the IP addresses of two MetroCluster IP LIFs, including a network mask and a default gateway. The MetroCluster IP LIFs are used for MetroCluster IP back-end connectivity.
Considerations for MetroCluster IP configuration
| Node | Port | IP address of MetroCluster IP LIF | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node 1 MetroCluster IP LIF 1 | e1a | |||
| Node 1 MetroCluster IP LIF 2 | e1b | |||
| Node 2 MetroCluster IP LIF 1 | e1a | |||
| Node 2 MetroCluster IP LIF 2 | e1b |
Site B LIFs and ports for cluster peering
For each node in the cluster, you need the IP addresses of two intercluster LIFs, including a network mask and a default gateway. The intercluster LIFs are used to peer the clusters.
| Node | Port | IP address of intercluster LIF | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node 1 IC LIF 1 | ||||
| Node 1 IC LIF 2 | ||||
| Node 2 IC LIF 1 | ||||
| Node 2 IC LIF 2 |
Site B time server information
You must synchronize the time, which requires one or more NTP time servers.
| Node | Host name | IP address | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NTP server 1 | ||||
| NTP server 2 |
Site B AutoSupport information
You must configure AutoSupport on each node, which requires the following information:
| Type of information | Your values | |
|---|---|---|
| From email address | ||
| Mail hosts | IP addresses or names | |
| Transport protocol | HTTP, HTTPS, or SMTP | |
| Proxy server | ||
| Recipient email addresses or distribution lists | Full-length messages | |
| Concise messages | ||
| Partners | ||
Site B SP information
You must enable access to the Service Processor (SP) of each node for troubleshooting and maintenance, which requires the following network information for each node:
| Node | IP address | Network mask | Default gateway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node 1 (controller_B_1) |
