    Table 1 Zone parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Indicates the name of a zone.

    Zone Type

    Indicates the type of a zone. Possible options are Global and NameNode.

    Sub-domain Name

    Indicates the sub-domain name of a zone. This function must be used together with the DNS function in the subnet.

    DNS Policy

    Indicates the DNS policy of a zone. Possible options are as follows:

    • Round robin

      If clients access services using domain names, nodes are selected to process service requests of clients based on the sequence recorded in the cache.

    • Node connections

      If clients access services using domains names, nodes with the fewest connections are selected to process service requests of clients.

    • CPU usage

      If clients access services using domains names, nodes with the lowest CPU usage are selected to process service requests of clients.

    • Node throughput

      If clients access services using domains names, nodes with the lowest throughput are selected to process service requests of clients.

    ID of Associated File System

    Indicates the ID of the file system associated with a zone.

    DNS Service

    Indicates whether the DNS service is enabled for a zone.

    IP Address Failover

    Indicates whether IP address failover is enabled for a zone. After this parameter is enabled, when a node is faulty, its IP address can be automatically allocated to another normal node. Therefore, clients can continue to access the storage system using this IP address.
