9 Isilon configuration
The following section outlines the steps necessary to add the Isilon X210 nodes into a cluster, setup a
functioning SMB share, designate a secondary subnet, and configure the SmartConnect feature in OneFS.
9.1 Building the cluster
The first step in configuring the Isilon array is building the cluster. Once the array is powered on, a serial
connection can be made to each node. Connect to the first node and use the cluster creation wizard to build
the cluster. Table 8 shows the values that were used in this example. If any additional information is needed
on the setup and configuration of the Isilon Array cluster, refer to the Isilon X210 Installation Guide.
Initial configuration wizard
The following table outlines the configurations that were made in this example. The following configurations
will be made in this section:
• The cluster name is defined
• IP ranges are assigned for the back-end-network
• Configuration of the management 1GbE ext-1 connections are made using out-of-band management
IP range 100.67.170.0/24
The 10gige-1 and 10gige-2 interfaces for user connectivity will be configured in the next section.
