4.
Disable DHCP.
The HA cluster uses virtual IP addresses – a concept not supported by DHCP. You must
disable DHCP on all NICs that will be used for client communication with the NAS system.
To manually disable DHCP on each NIC, execute:
setNetworkCardDhcpEnabled eth0 F
...
setNetworkCardDhcpEnabled eth4 F
5.
Verify that HA is enabled:
a
Verify the authorization file is installed by executing:
getSystemPackageList
—
If the result includes an entry similar to hpNasOs-HA-authorization, proceed
to step b.
—
If this entry does not display, contact your HP support representative to receive the
authorization file and instructions.
b
To verify that high availability is enabled, execute:
getSystemFeatureEnabled HA
—
The result of this command should be "T" (true). If it is, proceed to the next step.
—
If the result is "F" (false), execute:
setSystemFeatureEnabled HA code T
6.
To use any NIC other than the on-board network port (eth0) to access the Command View
NAS web interface, you must manually select the system management network card.
Note
We do not recommend having your management port be part of a bond
channel. If it is and you change your management port designation, you will no
longer be able to communicate with Command View NAS through the old IP
configuration.
Execute the following command, where ethX represents the port you will use to access the
web interface:
% setSystemManagementNetworkCard ethX
Note
This cannot be the same port used for the primary direct-connect heartbeat. (See
"HA Planning Worksheet" on page 16.)
7.
Define IP addresses.
Execute the following commands, where:
—
ethX represents the port assigned as the system management NIC
—
XXX represents IP address information.
—
hostname represents the name provided by the system administrator.
setNetworkCardIpAddress ethX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
setNetworkCardSubnetMask ethX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
setNetworkCardGatewayAddress ethX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
setNetworkCardBroadcastAddress ethX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
setNetworkHostName hostname
