Configuring intercluster LIFs to share data ports enables you to use existing data ports to create intercluster networks for cluster peer relationships. Sharing data ports reduces the number of ports you might need for intercluster networking.
About this task
Creating intercluster LIFs that share data ports involves assigning LIFs to existing data ports. In this procedure, a two-node cluster exists in which each node has two data ports, e0c and e0d, and these data ports are in the default IPspace. These are the two data ports that are shared for intercluster replication. You must configure intercluster LIFs on the peer cluster before you can create cluster peer relationships. In your own environment, you replace the ports, networks, IP addresses, subnet masks, and subnets with those specific to your environment.
