Configuring the Replication Network

This operation enables you to add nodes to the replication network to implement remote replication.

Prerequisites

The replication network has not been configured.

Procedure

  1. Choose Services > Object Service > Service Network.
  2. Click Configure Replication Network.

    The Configure Replication Network page is displayed.

  3. View nodes.

    1. View information about the imported nodes.
    2. Click Next.

  4. Configure the replication network.

    1. Configure the replication network. Table 1 describes related parameters.
      Table 1 Replication network parameters

      Parameter

      Description

      Use Configured IP Address Only

      If you select Yes, the system only allocates configured replication IP addresses in the specified IP address range to the nodes.

      Transmission Protocol

      Indicates the transmission protocol used by the replication network. The value is TCP.

      Bond Mode

      Indicates the bond mode of the replication network.

      • bond1: active/standby mode
      • bond4: dynamic link aggregation mode
        NOTE:

        When Transmission Protocol is set to TCP, bond1 and bond4 are supported. You are advised to select bond4.

      IP Address Segment

      Indicates the IP address segment of the replication network.

      NOTE:
      • If you select No in Use Configured IP Address Only, the IP addresses in the specified IP address segment cannot be in the same network segment as those of other ports on the node.
      • In the event of using an IPv4 address:
        • A 32-bit IPv4 address is divided into four 8-bit fields that are expressed in dotted decimal notation.
        • Each field of the IPv4 address cannot be left empty and must be an integer.
        • The value of the leftmost field ranges from 1 to 223 (excluding 127).
        • The values of the other fields range from 0 to 255.
        • An IPv4 address cannot be set to a special address such as a broadcast address.
        • Example: 192.168.1.100

      Mask/Prefix

      When an IPv4 address is used, this parameter indicates the subnet mask of the replication IPv4 address and identifies the subnet to which the IP address belongs.

      Port

      Indicates the port used by the replication network.

      Click to go to the Manage Bond Port page. You can configure a bond port as required. For details, see Managing Bond Ports.

    2. Click Preview. The system automatically reads the IP addresses configured on the server.
    3. In the Object Service Node List area, select the nodes for which you want to configure the replication network.
    4. After the replication network is configured successfully, click Next.

  5. Confirm that the configuration information is correct and click OK.
