Configuring High Availability Bonding, Mode 6, On The 1Gbe Network (All Platforms) - HP StoreOnce G3 Installation And Configuration Manual

7. You can check the configuration file in a number of ways — we shall use the net show
config current command:
#net show config current
Network Name: current
Network Description:
Write Protected: no

Bonding Mode: Not applicable
Default Network: yes
Interfaces:eth0
Command Successful
NOTE: If setting up a single 10GbE port on an HP StoreOnce 44xx Backup system to be the
initial configuration, the process is exactly the same, but you would connect to the required 10GbE
port and specify eth4 or eth5 as the port parameter in the CLI command.

Configuring high availability bonding, Mode 6, on the 1GbE network (all platforms)

For this example, the StoreOnce Backup system is available on the network but we now want to
configure high availability Mode 6 bonding on the 1GbE ports. This means that both ports will be
connected to the same network for all Management and StoreOnce functions, but the system will
benefit from link aggregation and continuous availability should one port fail.
We are assuming that the Default Network Configuration is active, so we have to create a new
configuration file, which we shall call bondedports and we shall provide static IP addresses.
1. Make sure both 1 GbE ports are physically connected before starting to re-configure.
2. Connect to the StoreOnce CLI from any client on the same network as an Admin user (Admin,
admin).
3. Create a new bonded configuration using the command #net create config
<config_name>.
#net create config bondedports writeprotect no

4. Validate the new configuration.
#net validate config bondedports
5. Activate the new configuration.
#net activate config bondedports
