3.
To assign the
IFNAME
a default route for the parent cluster bond and the user VIFs assigned
to nodes for use with SMB/NFS, enter the following
ibrix_nic
command:
# ibrix_nic -r -n IFNAME -h HOSTNAME-A -R <ROUTE_IP>
4.
Configure backup monitoring, as described in
“Configuring backup servers” (page 145)
.
Creating a bonded VIF
NOTE:
The examples in this section use flat networking and create a bonded VIF on
Bond0
. If
your cluster uses a different network layout, create the bonded VIF on a user network bond, such
as
Bond1
.
To create a bonded VIF (
bond0:1
in this example):
1.
If high availability (automated failover) is configured on the servers, disable it.
2.
Run the following command on the node running the active Fusion Manager:
# ibrix_server -m -U
3.
Identify the
bond0:1
VIF:
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0:1 -h node1,node2,node3,node4
4.
Assign an IP address to the
bond0:1
VIFs on each node. In the command,
-I
specifies the
IP address,
-M
specifies the netmask, and
-B
specifies the broadcast address:
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0:1 -h node1 -I 16.123.200.201 -M 255.255.255.0 -B 16.123.200.255
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0:1 -h node2 -I 16.123.200.202 -M 255.255.255.0 -B 16.123.200.255
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0:1 -h node3 -I 16.123.200.203 -M 255.255.255.0 -B 16.123.200.255
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0:1 -h node4 -I 16.123.200.204 -M 255.255.255.0 -B 16.123.200.255
Configuring backup servers
Nodes in a cluster are configured in backup pairs. If backup pairs were not configured when your
cluster was installed, assign backup servers for the
bond0:1
interface. In the following example,
node1
is the backup for
node2
,
node2
is the backup for
node1
,
node3
is the backup for
node4
,
and
node4
is the backup for
node3
.
To configure backup servers:
1.
Add the VIF:
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0:2 -h node1,node2,node3,node4
2.
Configure a backup node for each VIF:
# ibrix_nic -b -H node1/bond0:1,node2/bond0:2
# ibrix_nic -b -H node2/bond0:1,node1/bond0:2
# ibrix_nic -b -H node3/bond0:1,node4/bond0:2
# ibrix_nic -b -H node4/bond0:1,node3/bond0:2
Configuring NIC failover
Configure NIC monitoring on VIFs that are used by NFS, SMB, FTP, or HTTP.
