For example, you can create a user VIF that clients will use to access an SMB share serviced by
server ib69s1. The user VIF is based on an active physical network on that server. To do this, click
Add NIC
in the section of the dialog box for ib69s1.
On the Add NIC dialog box, enter a NIC name. In our example, the cluster uses the unified network
and has only
bond0
, the active cluster FM/IP. We cannot use
bond0:0
, which is the management
IP/VIF. We will create the VIF
bond0:1
, using
bond0
as the base. When you click
OK
, the user
VIF is created.
The new, active user NIC appears on the NIC HA setup dialog box.
