Set up an Xsan volume on a SAN
Step 1:
Set up the Fibre Channel network
Set up the SAN Fibre Channel network:
Connect controller computers, client computers, and RAID storage systems to a Fibre
m
Channel switch to create a Fibre Channel fabric for the SAN. Be sure to configure the
switch and make the connections so you create a Fibre Channel fabric.
For more information, see the guidelines and requirements in “Fibre Channel fabric” on
page 41.
Step 2:
Set up the Ethernet networks
Set up the SAN Ethernet networks:
1
Connect controller computers, client computers, RAID systems, and Fibre Channel
switches to the public intranet and Internet.
2
Connect controller computers and client computers to the private metadata network.
3
Configure the network settings on the client and controller computers.
For each computer’s public Ethernet port, you can configure the TCP/IP settings:
Manually: You enter the static IP address, subnet mask, router address, and DNS server
address for each computer.
Using DHCP with manual address: You enter the computer’s static IP address, and
your DHCP server provides the other TCP/IP connection settings.
Using DHCP: Your DHCP server provides a static IP address and the other TCP/IP
settings for client computers. (This configuration method isn’t available when setting
up metadata controllers.) The DHCP server must be configured to always assign the
same static IP address to each SAN computer.
