HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide
The fastest and easiest way to configure the master node of a HP VMA SAN
Gateway cluster is to use the configuration wizard.
Note that interface bonding and cluster VLAN configuration are not covered in the
configuration wizard. If you plan to use these features, you must configure them
using the CLI.
To simplify initial setup, or for single-Ethernet cable to Gateway configurations,
you can specify the eth1 interface as the answer for the “Public interface name” and
“Cluster interface name” questions in the wizard, and subsequently do the interface
bonding and VLAN configuration using the CLI.
See
on page 150 for information on how to set up
bonding. See
on page 151 for information on how to configure
a VLAN.
Using the Configuration Wizard
The configuration wizard may be used locally on each gateway to configure every
HP VMA SAN Gateway in the cluster. Immediately after logging into each HP
VMA SAN Gateway, you will be prompted to choose between proceeding with the
configuration or escaping to the CLI.

guide you through the steps required to configure the HP VMA SAN
Gateway.

line interface (CLI) in Standard mode. (See
on page 117 for
more information about Standard mode.)
Note:
HP recommends that you use the Configuration Wizard.
The configuration wizard interactively configures the cluster settings, prompting
you at each step to enter a value or accept the default (or the current setting, if
