3 Multi-node Setup

This section explains how to configure the identities of each node after the VLS9000 series is physically
installed.

Configuring Primary Node 0

To configure the primary node:
1. Power on array 0. All other arrays should be powered off.
2. On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect
to a console.
3. Power on the primary node.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary
(master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
4. Enter m. The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks.
5. 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#" and then "Initializing for node#
completed." messages in the systems notifications (if you have DHCP enabled) of Command View
VLS or when you see the login prompt on the terminal.
6. Set the IP address and other public network configurations on the VLS. Refer to
Settings

Configuring the Secondary Nodes 1 through 7

To configure the secondary nodes (nodes 1 through 7):
1. On the secondary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect
to a console.
2. Power on the primary node and all previously installed secondary nodes of the VLS.
3. Power on the secondary node being added to the VLS.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary
(master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
4. Enter s.
5. At the prompt, enter the node number (next sequential node number).
The node will then run cable checks and configuration checks, display the world wide part number
(WWPN), then reboot automatically.
