2.

Use the

set nic

command to change the IP address, as shown in the following example. In this

example, the IP address of the

south3

server on the network is changed from the default value that

was assigned to it when the network was first configured to

16.123.123.110

:

sfs> set nic network=nic2 server=south3 ip=16.123.123.110

Changing the attributes of bonded Gigabit Ethernet network

s

The attributes of bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnects are stored in the

bonding_options

attribute. If

there is more than one bonded network, the attributes are common to all bonded networks.You can change

these attributes using the

set attribute

command.

There are only two supported modes of bonding: these are 802.3ad (the default) and balance-alb. If you

are using the 802.3ad mode, you must configure your switch accordingly. For more information, refer to

Chapter 2 of the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System Installation and Upgrade Guide.

To display the existing attributes of bonded Gigabit Ethernet networks, enter the following command:

sfs> show attribute bonding_options

Attribute Value/Description
-------------------------------- -------------------------------------
bonding_options mode=802.3ad
Bonding device options, set in /etc/modprobe.conf

To change the attributes, enter the

set attribute

command, as shown in the following example:

sfs> set attribute bonding_options="mode=balance-alb"

To bring the changes into effect, enter the

configure server all

command.

Partitioning an InfiniBand interconnect

If you want to configure the HP SFS system to use InfiniBand partitions, you must reconfigure the interconnect.

To reconfigure an InfiniBand interconnect to add partitioning, perform the following steps:

1.

Unmount all file systems on all client nodes.

2.

Log in to the administration server and stop the file systems by entering the

stop filesystem

filesystem_name

command for each file system.

3.

Enter the

show filesystem

command and verify that all MDS and OST services used by the file

systems are stopped.

4.

Enter the

configure system

command, and then enter

2

to select the

Configure Networks

menu, as follows:

sfs> configure system

1) System
2) Configure Networks
3) Network Services
4) Management Network
5) iLO Access
6) Storage
a) All of the above
e) Exit (save updates)
q) Quit (discard updates)
