You can use the SAN Volume Controller Console to
set the node Ethernet port addresses for a partner node that is currently
offline.
This task sets the IP configuration for a partner node,
which is offline or not added to the I/O group. The failover configuration
is activated on the local node until the partner node comes back online
and activates the settings. To configure the other node Ethernet port,
select the other local Ethernet node port and run this task again.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
To configure a partner node Ethernet port, complete these steps:
- In the portfolio, click . The Viewing Node Ethernet Ports panel is displayed.
- On the Viewing Node Ethernet Ports panel, select Configure
Partner Node Ethernet Port from the task list and click Go.
The Configure Partner Node Ethernet Port panel displays.
- On the Configure Partner Node Ethernet Port panel, select
either IPv4 or IPv6 for the type of IP connection that the port uses.
Depending on your selection, enter the following information for the
port:
- IPv4
- Enter the following information for IPv4 connections:
- Node name (optional)
- IP address
- Subnet mask
- Gateway
- IPv6
- Enter the following information for IPv6 connections:
- Node name (optional)
- IP address
- Prefix
- Gateway
- Click OK.
After you set the node Ethernet port addresses for a partner
node, you can create iSCSI aliases.
