Configuring IOA Interfaces

After enabling the cluster and enabling IOA, configure the IOA interfaces on the switch.
To provision an IOA interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
sjc-sw2# config t
sjc-sw2(config)#
Step 2
sjc-sw2(config)# interface ioa
2/1
sjc-sw2(config)# interface ioa
2/2
sjc-sw2(config)# no interface
ioa 2/2
Step 3
sjc-sw2(config-if)# no
shutdown
sjc-sw2(config-if)# shutdown
Note FCIP and IOA are not supported on the same engine.
To complete the configuration for the reference topology, configure the interfaces in rtp-sw2.

Displaying IOA Interface Status

After configuring the IOA interface, use the show int command to show whether the IOA interface is
down. The interface is down until the interface is added to a cluster:
sjc-sw2# show interface ioa 2/1
ioa2/1 is down (Not in any Cluster)

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures IOA on service engine 1 in slot 2.
Configures IOA on service engine 2 in slot 2.
Note Service engines 2, 3, and 4 are available only on the
SSN-16 module. The appropriate IOA license is
checked out as a part of the creation of the interface.
A standard MDS notation is used to denote the IOA interfaces:
ioa slot/service engine. For example, ioa2/1 refers to Slot 1,
Service Engine 1. In the case of the MSM-18/4 Module and 9222i
Switch, only one service engine exists and so only ioa2/1 is valid.
In the case of the SSN-16 Module, four service engines exist and
so ioa2/1, ioa2/2, ioa2/3, and ioa2/4 are valid interfaces.
Deletes the IOA interface.
Note Before deleting an IOA interface, you must remove
the IOA interface from the cluster.
Enables the IOA interface.
Disables the IOA interface.
