8. After the previous command completes, configure the iSCSI IP addresses.

To configure iSCSI IP addresses run the following command:
hardware fabrics iSCSI add

For example:
hardware fabrics iSCSI add eth30 255.255.0.0 192.11.18.10,192.11.18.11

(This adds the first SAN subnet containing all the eth30 ports.)
hardware fabrics iSCSI-portals add-IPv4

For example:
hardware fabrics iSCSI-portals add-IPv4 192.11.18.6 "MD-1"

(This points the FluidFS cluster to the PowerVault iSCSI Control Port.)

9. On the MD system, create the volumes, server objects, and mappings for the FluidFS cluster.
10. Rescan to find the volumes.

Adding a NAS Appliance to a FluidFS Cluster Using the CLI

Use this procedure to add a NAS appliance to a FluidFS cluster using the CLI. The recommended way to
add a NAS appliance is to use the FluidFS NAS Manager WebUI. This procedure should be performed only
by Dell Technical Support Services.

1.

Log on to the CLI of the existing FluidFS cluster (do not log on to the new NAS appliance) as

described on Accessing the CLI.

2. Determine the network ID of the existing client subnets for use in Step 3.

networking subnets list

3. Configure the client VIPs (PrivateIPs) and an IP address for each NAS controller that you are adding

(PublicIPs). Dell recommends adding at least one client VIP per NAS controller.

networking subnets edit -PrivateIPs

PublicIPs

For example:
networking subnets edit 192.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 -PrivateIPs

192.10.18.38,192.10.18.39,192.10.18.40,192.10.18.41 -PublicIPs

192.10.18.42,192.10.18.43
