Network configuration overview, Setting the hostname and routing information – Dell Acceleration Appliances for Databases User Manual
Page 15

NETWORK CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
The basic network configuration process for ION Accelerator is as follows:
1. Set the hostname and routing information for the appliance.
2. Configure the management node port that will be used to communicate with ION
Accelerator.
3. If the HA feature is enabled, configure the HA port addresses for each HA network card.
4. If the adapter uses the iSCSI protocol, configure all iSCSI ports. (Fibre Channel adapters are
automatically configured.)
5. Verify and save the configuration.
After the License Agreement is accepted, the appliance OS scans for existing network cards. The
main Network Configuration screen then appears, with network interface cards listed.
In the example below, “Ethernet Network Card” refers to the management IP, and “Mellanox
Ethernet controller” refers to the cluster interconnect controller(s).
To make changes to the Network Configuration after First Boot finishes, use the CLI command
setup:lan
to invoke First Boot screens (see the ION Accelerator Appliance CLI Reference for
details).
SETTING THE HOSTNAME AND ROUTING INFORMATION
Once you have configured all the network devices, you need to set the hostname and routing
information for ION Accelerator.
1. Select Change at the bottom of the Network Configuration screen to display the Network
Settings screen.
