Setting Description
The int-a network must be on a separate subnet from an int-b/failover
network.
int-b/failover network settings
• Netmask
• IP range
• Failover IP range
The int-b/failover network settings are optional. The int-b network is for
communication between nodes, and provides redundancy with the int-a
network.
The int-b network must be configured with IPv4.
The int-a and int-b networks must be on separate subnets.
The failover IP range is a virtual IP range that is resolved to either of the
active ports during failover.
External network settings
• Netmask
• MTU
• IP range
The external network settings are for client access to the cluster.
The default external network can be configured with IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Configure the external network with IPv6 addresses by entering an integer
less than 128 for the netmask value. The standard external netmask value for
IPv6 addresses is 64. If you enter a netmask value with dot-decimal notation,
use IPv4 addresses for the IP range.
In the configuration wizard, the following options are available:
Configure external subnet
[ 1] 25gige-1 - External interface
[Enter] Exit configuring external network.
Configure external subnet >>>
Or
Configure external subnet
[ 1] 100gige-1 - External interface
[Enter] Exit configuring external network.
Configure external subnet >>>
NOTE: The 100gige is only an option on F600 nodes.
Default gateway The IP address of the optional gateway server through which the cluster
communicates with clients outside the subnet. Enter an IPv4 or IPv6
address, depending on how configured the external network.
SmartConnect settings
• SmartConnect zone name
• SmartConnect service IP
SmartConnect balances client connections across nodes in a cluster.
Information about configuring SmartConnect is available in the OneFS
Administration Guide.
DNS settings
• DNS servers
• DNS search domains
The DNS settings are for the cluster.
Enter a comma-separated list to specify multiple DNS servers or search
domains. Enter IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, depending on how you configured
the external network settings.
Date and time settings
• Time zone
• Day and time
The day and time settings are for the cluster.
Cluster join mode The method that the cluster uses to add new nodes. Choose one of the
following options:
Manual join Cluster join mode enables configured nodes in the
cluster, or new nodes to request to join the cluster.
Secure join A configured node in the existing cluster must invite
a new unconfigured node to join the cluster.
