Configure ports on Linux-based (RHEL 7 type) nodes according to the following
procedure.
As part of this procedure, you will assign the traffic management and two data NICs
the following names:
Traffic management NIC: ifcfg-sio_mgmt
l
VxFlex OS Data NIC 1: ifcfg-sio_d_1
l
VxFlex OS Data NIC 2: ifcfg-sio_d_2
l
Procedure
1. Navigate to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ folder:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
2. Create three files that correspond to the names you are assigning the NICS
(ifcfg-sio_mgmt, ifcfg-sio_d_1, and ifcfg-sio_d_2):
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/
network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt /etc/
sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_1
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_mgmt /etc/
sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sio_d_2
3. Configure each of the files you created with the correct management or data IP
addresses.
a. For the ifcfg-sio_mgmt file, run:
echo DEVICE= sio_mgmt > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo STARTMODE=onboot >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo USERCONTROL=no >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo BOOTPROTO=static >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo NETMASK=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo IPADDR=X.X.X.X >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-sio_mgmt
echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan
