3. VPlexcli-1 or VPlexcli-2
management servers (taking into account the few seconds it took between steps
and 2), type the following command on the management server you want to
change:
/bin/date -s "<date_and_time>"
where <date_and_time> is in the format shown in the following command
example:
/bin/date -s "29 Jun 2010 17:19:00"
1. VPlexcli-1 From the VPlexcli prompt on management server 1, type the
following command to enable all WAN COM ports in the cluster:
set /**/*4-FC0[2-3]::enabled true
2. Type the following command to display all director ports in the cluster, and verify
that all ports numbered A4-FC02, A4-FC03, B4-FC02, or B4-FC03 have a port
status of up:
ll /engines/engine-1-*/**/ports
Follow the recommendations in the VPLEX best practices white papers to zone the
WAN COM ports.
1. VPlexcli-1 From the VPlexcli prompt on management server 1, type the
following command:
configuration connect-remote-directors
When prompted, type the number of engines in cluster 2.
2. Type the following command to verify that cluster 1 is connected to all of the
directors in cluster 2:
ls /engines/engine-2-*/directors
Output example for a dual-engine cluster:
/engines/engine-2-1/directors:
director-2-1-A
/engines/engine-2-2/directors:
director-2-2-A
1. VPlexcli-2 From the VPlexcli prompt on management server 2, type the
following command:
configuration connect-remote-directors
When prompted, type the number of engines in cluster 1.
2. Type the following command to verify that cluster 2 is connected to all of the
directors in cluster 1:
ls /engines/engine-1-*/directors
If the UTC are not synchronized between the
director-2-1-B
director-2-2-B
