3 Multi-node Setup
This section explains how to configure the identities of each node after the nodes and other
components of the system are installed and cabled.
Configuring Primary Node 0
To configure the primary node:
1.
On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to
connect to a console.
2.
Power on the primary node. The node will now run cable checks and configuration checks.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a
primary (master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
3.
Enter
m
. The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks.
4.
After the checks are complete the node will reboot automatically. Wait for the primary node
to fully boot.
Rebooting is complete when you receive the “Initializing node#” and then “Initializing for
node# completed.” messages in the systems notifications (if you have DHCP enabled) of
Command View VLS or when you see the login prompt on the terminal.
5.
Set the IP address and other public network configurations on the VLS. Refer to
Setting the
Network Settings
for instructions.
Configuring the Secondary Nodes 1 through 3
To configure the secondary nodes (nodes 1 through 3):
1.
On the secondary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to
connect to a console.
2.
Power on the primary node and all previously installed secondary nodes of the VLS.
3.
Power on the secondary node being added to the VLS.
The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks, and display the world wide
part number (WWPN).
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a
primary (master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
NOTE:
If you are performing a "hot add" of a secondary node, you can present the LUNs
at this time. See
“Presenting the LUNs” (page 24)
.
4.
Enter
s
.
5.
At the prompt, enter the node number (next sequential node number), and the node will then
automatically reboot.
NOTE:
Node numbering must be sequential with no gaps. Gaps in ID numbering will prevent
the VLS from recognizing any nodes with an ID after the gap. For example, if node numbering
is 0, 1, 2, 4, the VLS will not recognize node 4.
6.
Once the new secondary node has finished rebooting, log on to Command View VLS and
log in as the administrator. See
“Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web
Browser” (page 79)
.
7.
Select the
System
tab.
8.
Select
Nodes
from the navigation pane.
9.
Repeat these steps to add nodes until all of the nodes are listed in the navigation pane.
