You can configure multiple data interfaces for a single management interface in an NFS environment.
Before you begin
Before you configure a management interface for a data interface, you must run the
snapdrive config set vsadmin command for the management interface.
Steps
- Delete the previous interface entry for storage system communication if that entry is different from the newly selected management interface:
# snapdrive config list
username appliance name appliance type
-------------------------------------------
root f3050-220-91 StorageSystem
root lnx197-144 DFM
- Set the configuration for the new interface:
# snapdrive config set root f3050-197-91
Password for root:
Retype password:
The following is an example for Vserver.
# snapdrive config set vsadmin clstr-vs2
Password for vsadmin:
Retype password:
- Configure the data interface for the new management interface:
# snapdrive config set -mgmtpath f3050-197-91 f3050-220-91#
In the preceding command, f3050-197-191 is the management interface and f3050-220-91 is the data interface.
The following is an example for Vserver.
snapdrive config set -mgmtpath clstr-vs2 clstr-vs2-2
system name management interface datapath interface
-------------------------------------------------------
clstr-vs2 10.72.220.203 10.72.221.155
In the output, 10.72.220.203 is the management interface and 10.72.221.155 is the data interface.
