Configuring ZFS Storage Appliance Networking for Single IP
Connection
This configuration is only for an Oracle SPARC SuperCluster T5 with no external leaf switches.
For best failover and performance, use the Active-Active Configuration (next section) for all
other configurations.
Configure the ZFS Storage Appliance InfiniBand ports for network connectivity and simple
cluster failover by using the following procedure to configure Port 1 with the desired IP
address.
1.
Log on to the BUI of Head 1 and navigate to Configuration > Network.
2.
Click the plus icon next to Interfaces. The Network Interface dialogue box opens.
3.
Complete the dialogue box as follows:
■
Enter a meaningful name for the network interface.
■
Verify that Enable Interface is checked.
■
Verify that Allow Administration is checked.
■
Verify that Use IPv4 Protocol is checked.
■
Verify that the Configure with menu selection is Static Address List.
■
In the box below that, enter the desired IP address with the appropriate netmask.
■
Verify that Use IPv6 Protocol is not checked.
■
Select the datalink for ibp0 and click Apply.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 on Head 2 using ibp2 as the datalink.
Configuring ZFS Storage Appliance Networking for an Active-
Active Configuration
Configure the InfiniBand ports on the ZFS Storage Appliance for IP multipathing. Four
IP addresses, on the private storage subnet, are needed for each ZFS Storage Appliance
head (therefore, eight addresses total) because the interfaces will run in an active-active
configuration.
