Step 25. Next steps
After you have completed the initialization and initial configuration of your system
here are some pointers to the next configuration steps.
Pointers to the configuration tasks that you may want to do next
v If you wish to change the bonding of the public network ports on the file
modules, for example to change the bond mode to 4. It is best to do this before
defining the public IP addresses, so that you do not have to detach and reattach
the Public networks (ethX0 and ethX1). Thus, client computers will not lose
access to files because access has not, yet, been configured. In addition, it is also
convenient to enable jumbo frames at the same time. Refer to Changing a bond
network interface on a file module, located in the Information Center, for
information on changing network bonding.
v If you have additional control enclosures to add to the system refer to Installing
additional control enclosures, located in the Information Center.
v If you have connected the second 1 Gbps Ethernet port on each node canister in
each control enclosure to your network then you can configure it with the
secondary system IP address to give a redundant path for the active
management node running on a file module to ssh block storage CLI commands
to the main configuration node running on one of the node canisters in one of
the control enclosures. Refer to Ethernet connectivity from file modules to the
control enclosure, located in the Information Center, for examples of using the
chsystemip and chstoragesystem CLI commands.
v Investigate the Suggested tasks by selecting the Suggested Tasks button in the
Home > Overview panel of the management GUI. For example you can set up
the service IP addresses for the node canisters in the control enclosures and you
can set up event notifications if you skipped that during initial configuration.
v For other configuration tasks refer to the Configuring section of the Information
Center.
