3 Multi-node setup
After the VLS300 is physically installed, configure the identities of each node:
• Configure primary node--node 0
• Configure the secondary node(s)—nodes1 through 7
Configure primary node—node 0
To configure the primary node:
1.
On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to
a console.
2.
Power on the primary node of the VLS300.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary
(master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
3.
Enter "m". The VLS300 will then run cable checks and configuration checks.
4.
After the checks are complete the node will reboot automatically. Wait for the primary node to
fully boot.
Rebooting is complete when you receive the "Initializing node#", then "Initializing for node#
completed." messages in the systems notifications (if you have DHCP enabled) or when you see
the login prompt on the terminal
