Secondary Node Parameters
A secondary node in a cluster automatically inherits all the global cluster parameters from the
master node. Hence, there are fewer questions in the configuration wizard to answer for the standby
node.
The following table lists the configuration parameters for secondary nodes, along with a description
for each.
Cluster expected nodes Set the number of nodes (HP VMA SAN Gateways) in the cluster
to "1". Change the value as in instructed in the
Redundant Gateway
Pairing Process Guide
.
Note:
This is the expected number of HP VMA SAN Gateway
nodes only. Do not include the number of HP VMA-series Arrays.
Cluster ID The cluster id can be found in the login banner. The default is its
preset value. This id should be changed for redundant gateway
configurations.
Cluster name The name of the cluster used by the Domain Name System (DNS).
Cluster management
(virtual) IP address The virtual IP address (VIP) for management of the cluster. The
virtual address is assigned to the master node of the cluster, and
redirected as needed whenever another node becomes the master
(used only for redundant gateway config).
Cluster management
(virtual) netmask The virtual netmask for management of the cluster. The virtual
netmask is assigned to the master node of the cluster, and
redirected as needed whenever another node becomes the master
(used only for redundant gateway config).
Public interface name This specifies the Ethernet port that is used for cluster
management. If only a single Ethernet cable will be used to
connect the SAN Gateway node, then eth1 should be used. If both
eth1 and eth2 will be cabled to the network, then they should be
bonded as eth0, and eth0 should be used as the public interface.
For more information, see the Redundant Gateway Pairing
Process guide.
Public interface IP address The public interface IP address.
Note:
DHCP is not recommended.
Public interface netmask The public interface netmask for the individual gateway.
Default gateway The Default Gateway is set on a per/node basis. When a node is
part of a cluster, the Global Default Gateway takes precedence.
The Default Gateway is recommended for access to a cluster from
outside of the local network of a node.
