About cluster management
The management IP address for a cluster is known as the cluster IP address. The cluster IP address enables
you to access the browser-based Configuration utility to configure other aspects of the product, such as the
product license, VLANs, trunks, and so on. Connecting to the cluster IP address connects you to the primary
blade in the system.
With VIPRION
®
platforms, you assign cluster IP addresses on a per-cluster basis. Initially, all blades installed
in the chassis belong to a single default cluster. During the initial setup, you only need to assign a single
cluster IP address.
A blade within a cluster is known as a cluster member. You can assign a management IP address to each
cluster member.
You can manage clusters using these methods:
•
USB LCD module
•
config
utility
•
tmsh
commands
Configuring the cluster IP address from the LCD
You can use the USB LCD module to configure the cluster IP address. The options for cluster and blade
management are located in the Cluster menu item under the System menu.
Note: The USB LCD module is an optional device that is not included with the platform by default. It works
only with VIPRION
®
2000 Series platforms.
Note: When using the LCD to manage clusters, be sure to use the Commit menu option after changing each
setting. Alternatively, you can change all cluster-related settings and use the Commit option to save all
settings at once.
