then select Network Entity Management.

3.4.2.1 Adding network entities

NOTE:

The cloning process does not clone nodes that are not assigned to a network entity.

Figure 13 Network entity management

Specify the name of the network entity to create. The length is limited to 15 characters. Each
network entity can contain up to 129 nodes.

NOTE:

To minimize the cloning time, each network entity must correspond to each Ethernet

switch. A switch in the cluster must physically represent a network entity and the associated
nodes must be connected to that switch.

Select any number of nodes from the “Nodes not in any Network Entity” option on the left
and use the arrows to move the nodes to the “Nodes in Network Entity” option on the right.

3.4.2.2 Deleting network entities

To delete a network entity, select it from the network entities list in the Network Entity Management
window, and then click Remove NE.

IMPORTANT:

A network entity cannot be recovered after it is deleted.
