These panel descriptions apply to all
node panels that are part
of the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Adding a node to a cluster
Use the Adding a Node to a Cluster panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
add a node to a cluster.
Deleting nodes
Use the Deleting Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
remove a node from a cluster.
Confirming the deletion of a node
Use the Confirming the Deletion of a Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
confirm the deletion of the last node in the cluster.
Renaming nodes
Use the Renaming Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
change the current name of the node. Changing the node name alters
the iSCSI qualified name (IQN), which can require reconfiguration
of the iSCSI-attached host. If you still want to rename the node,
click Force Rename.
Shutting down the node
Use the Shutting Down Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console shut
down the node.
Viewing dependent VDisks on a node
Use the View Dependent VDisks on Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display all virtual disks (VDisks) that depend on the selected node.
If the node is shut down, all the VDisks or VDisk copies with dependencies
on the node go offline and become unavailable.
Modifying iSCSI alias
Use the Modifying iSCSI Alias panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
create or change the iSCSI alias for the selected node. An iSCSI alias
is a user-assigned name that identifies the SAN Volume Controller node
to the iSCSI-attached host. It is possible to change the iSCSI alias
of a node even if the node is offline.
Removing iSCSI alias
Use the Removing iSCSI Alias panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
remove an iSCSI alias for the selected node.
Modifying partner node
Use the Modifying Partner Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
change attributes for the partner node.
Viewing nodes
The Viewing Nodes panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console displays
details about all the nodes in a cluster. From this panel, you can
work with configured nodes or view detailed configuration information
for them.
Viewing general details for nodes Use the Viewing General Detail panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display specific details about the configuration of a selected node.
Viewing fibre channel port details
Use the Viewing Fibre Channel Port Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display specific information about the fibre
channel ports that are attached to a node.
Viewing node Ethernet port details
Use the Viewing Node Ethernet Port Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display details on the selected nodes configured node Ethernet ports.
A node Ethernet port represents an iSCSI port on an SAN Volume Controller node.
Viewing vital product data for nodes Use the Viewing Vital Product Data panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display the vital product data (VPD) information related to the node.
The VPD information uniquely defines each hardware and licensed-internal-code
element. The node VPD provides information about the system board,
processor, fans, memory module, fibre-channel adapter card, devices,
software, front panel assembly, the uninterruptible
power supply,
SAS host bus adapter (HBA), and SAS solid-state drive (SSD).
Viewing node Ethernet port IP address details
Use the Viewing Node Ethernet Port IP Address panel in
the SAN Volume Controller Console to
view the IP address for the Ethernet ports that are associated with
the selected node. Two tables display for each of the Ethernet ports
on the cluster. An additional table displays if failover is active
for either of the Ethernet ports on the specified node.
