Cluster
The initial release of the VTrak G1000 supports a maximum of two nodes in a cluster. Later releases will
increase the number of nodes allowed in a cluster to four.
To add another node to an existing cluster, follow these steps:
1.
Select the NAS Gateway cluster you will assign a new node to, click on the gear and choose the
Setup
NAS Gateway
option. The
NAS Gateway Setup Wizard
menu appears.
2.
Choose one node from the list to add to the cluster. Click
Assign
, then the
Next
button to continue.
Notice that the general health status of the nodes in the list are indicated by a green or red check mark
icon. It is still possible to assign an NAS Gateway with a red check mark, indicating a problem with the
node. But this decision requires you to confirm the add on in a new menu.
3.
Accept the Link Aggregation settings as listed, or, click on
the gear icon and choose the
Change Link
Aggregation
option. The Link Aggregation option menu appears. Again, this is the same menu you have
seen before if you already went through the Setup Wizard process. Choose the new Link Aggregation
option and click on the
Save
button. You will return to the Link Aggregation configuration list with the new
settings displayed.
4. Now click on the gear icon again and choose the
Change IP Address
option. You will see the IP Settings
settings for configuration of the NAS Client Link IP and NAS Client Gateway IP settings, and the A-Class
Link IP and A-Class Link Gateway IP settings. Click Next to continue and review the settings of the new
node.
