  • Page 26: Hp Storeall 9730 Network Layouts

    In doing so, two bonded interfaces (Bond0 and Bond1) are created. The HP StoreAll 9730 Storage system supports four networking layouts. The default is to use a flat (single, unified) network for all cluster and user traffic. The other layouts provide a dedicated management network, a user/cluster network, and, optionally, additional user networks.

  • Page 27: Ip Address Requirements For Flat (Unified) Networks

    IMPORTANT: HP StoreAll 9730 Storage systems default to a flat network configuration that places the chassis management components on one subnet and the user/cluster components on a separate subnet. Nodes are configured to access the user, cluster, and management networks through a single bond attached to the user/cluster subnet.
