Configuring the network details of the nodes

You can use Storage Manager to configure the node management LIF and Service Processor settings for the newly added nodes.

Before you begin

  • Sufficient number of ports must be present in the default IPspace for LIF creation.

  • All the ports must be up and running.

  1. Configure node management:

    1. Enter the IP address in the IP Address field.

    2. Select the port for node management in the Port field.

    3. Enter the netmask and gateway details.

  2. Configure Service Processor settings:

    1. Select the Override defaults check box to override the default values.

    2. Enter the IP address, netmask, and gateway details.

  3. Click Submit and Proceed to complete the network configuration of the nodes.
  4. Verify the details of the nodes in the Summary page.

After you finish

  • If your cluster is protected, you should create the required number of intercluster LIFs in the newly added nodes to avoid partial peering and unhealthy protection.

  • If SAN data protocols are enabled in your cluster, you should create the required number of SAN Data LIFs for serving data.
