This topic includes information
about managing your nodes.
Adding nodes to a cluster
Before
you add a node to a cluster, you must make sure that the switch zoning
is configured such that the node being added is in the same zone as
all other nodes in the cluster.
Renaming a node
You can rename a node from the Renaming Node panel. If you are renaming a node that is
associated with an iSCSI host, renaming the node alters the iSCSI qualified name (IQN), which can require reconfiguration
of the iSCSI-attached host.
Modifying partner node
You can change attributes for a partner node using the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Configuring or modifying an iSCSI alias
You can use 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 an iSCSI alias
You can remove the iSCSI alias for the selected node using
the SAN Volume Controller Console.
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.
Shutting down a node
You can shut down a SAN Volume Controller node
from the Shutting Down Node panel.
Replacing a faulty node with a spare node
You can use the SAN Volume Controller Console and
the SAN Volume Controller front
panel to replace a faulty node in a cluster.
