7.3 | High-speed data network

Just as for management network, Public Data network can be configured either using static virtual IP

addresses or DHCP-assigned IP addresses.

Static virtual IP configuration:

User must be aware of IP addresses and IP of the gateway.

DHCP configuration:

Configure DHCP server to assign same (static) IP and hostname to each provided MAC addresses

instead of taking them from DHCP pool. These entries should be corresponding to:

a) Public data network for the server - one IP address per server

The total number of required IP addresses for high-speed data interfaces: two.

In addition to these the DHCP server should also be configured to provide optional info for:

•

subnet mask

•

gateway

DNS server: Regardless of the IP configuration method, DNS server should have the mappings

for the above assigned hostnames and IP addresses - both A-record and reverse lookup record.

For each cluster, two static virtual IPs are required, which would be shared across both servers:

Note

Both Virtual IPs must be statically assigned regardless of the actual network

configuration method for the network interfaces (DHCP-assigned IPs or statically

assigned IPs).

Management VIP: A static virtual IP on management network that is reserved for a given setup. This

IP is not assigned to any specific node by DHCP. However, it must be mapped to a FQDN in the DNS

server entries. The Management VIP is the IP address that CORTX Manager web interface runs at.

https://<MANAGEMENT_VIP>:28100/

Data VIP: A Static virtual IP on data network that is reserved for a given setup. This IP is not

assigned to any specific node by DHCP. However, it must be mapped to a FQDN in the DNS server

entries. The Data VIP is the IP address that S3 clients must use for the S3 Endpoint address of the

Lyve Rack R1.

The total number of required IP addresses for VIP interfaces: two (2).

The total number of IP addresses required for the entire cluster: eight (8).
