Process
When you add a network to the appliance, you might need to make configuration changes to the
following resources:
Description Task Resource
•
Adding a network does not require that you take resources offline.
•
For more information about networks, see “Managing networks and
network resources” (page 115) , the online help for the Networks
screen, or the REST API scripting help for networks and network sets.
1. Add the network. Networks
•
When you add a network to an appliance, it is immediately available.
However, for a server blade to connect to that network, the network
must be included in an uplink set on the logical interconnect for that
server blade, and the server profile for the server blade must include
a connection to either the network or a network set that includes the
network.
• You can either add the network to an existing uplink set or create a
new uplink set for the network.
•
Changing the configuration of an uplink set does not require that
you take resources offline.
• Configuration changes made to a logical interconnect group are not
automatically propagated to the member logical interconnects.
However, by changing the logical interconnect group, for each logical
interconnect, you can update it with a single action.
•
For more information, see “Managing interconnects, logical
interconnects, and logical interconnect groups” (page 121) , the online
help for the Logical Interconnect Groups screen, or the REST API
scripting help for logical interconnects and the REST API for the
uplink-sets
resource.
2. Add the network to an
uplink set. Logical
Interconnect
Groups
• Changing the configuration of an uplink set does not require that
you take resources offline.
•
Configuration changes made to a logical interconnect group are not
automatically propagated to the member logical interconnects. To
update a logical interconnect with changes made to its logical
interconnect group, you must do one of the following:
◦
From the Logical Interconnects screen, select Actions
→Update
from group
◦
Use the REST APIs to reapply the logical interconnect group.
When adding a network, updating a logical interconnect from its
group does not require that you take resources offline.
•
You can also make changes to a logical interconnect without also
changing the logical interconnect group. In this case, you add the
network to an uplink set on the logical interconnect. However, the
appliance labels the logical interconnect as being inconsistent with
its group.
•
For more information, see “Managing interconnects, logical
interconnects, and logical interconnect groups” (page 121) , the online
help for the Logical Interconnects screen, or the REST API scripting
help for logical interconnects.
3. Do one of the following:
• Add the network to an
uplink set.
• Update the logical
interconnect from the
group.
