Configure the ports on RHEL 7.x nodes - R840 servers
Configure ports on Linux-based (RHEL 7.x type) nodes according to the following procedure.
About this task
As part of this procedure, you will assign the traffic management and two data NICs the following names:
l
Traffic management NIC: ifcfg-sio_mgmt
l
VxFlex OS Data NIC 1: ifcfg-sio_d_1
l
VxFlex OS Data NIC 2: ifcfg-sio_d_2
Procedure
1. Navigate to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ folder:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
2. Create three files that correspond to the names you are assigning the NICS (ifcfg-sio_mgmt, ifcfg-
sio_d_1, and ifcfg-sio_d_2):
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
sio_mgmt
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
sio_d_1
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
sio_d_2
3. Configure each of the files you created with the correct management or data IP addresses.
a. For the ifcfg-sio_mgmt file, run:
echo DEVICE= sio_mgmt > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo STARTMODE=onboot >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo USERCONTROL=no >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo BOOTPROTO=static >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo NETMASK=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo IPADDR=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan
b. For the ifcfg-sio_d_1 file, run:
echo DEVICE= sio_d_2 > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo STARTMODE=onboot >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo USERCONTROL=no >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo BOOTPROTO=static >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo NETMASK=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo IPADDR=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan
