Several prompts will suggest a default value in brackets that can be accepted by simply pressing
enter.
Is this the Primary CSN (yes/no)? [yes]:: This prompt allows specification of whether
or not the CSN is a primary or secondary CSN. The default value is yes. Administrators should
take care to ensure that only a single primary CSN is configured on the internal network to prevent
conflicts with both DHCP and DX Storage netboot configuration. The primary server must be
configured prior to configuration of a secondary. DHCP is not started on the secondary CSN.
Half of the NIC ports on this system will be bonded and assigned to the
external network. The following questions configure the external network:
Enter the CSN IP address []:
This parameter requires entry of an external IP address for the CSN node. The entered address
must be in a valid w.x.y.z format and must not already be in use on the network.
Enter the cluster IP address. This IP address will remain with the Primary
CSN in the event of a CSN failover []: This parameter requires entry of an external IP
address for the CSN cluster address. This well-known address remains with the primary CSN in the
event of a failover, meaning the cluster can always be reached at this address. The entered address
must be in a valid w.x.y.z format and must not already be in use on the network.
Enter the subnet mask [255.255.255.0]: This parameter requires entry of the subnet
mask for the external network that corresponds with the entered IP address. The default is
255.255.255.0.
Enter the gateway IP address []: This parameter requires entry of the gateway
associated with the entered IP address for the external interface.
Half of the NIC ports on this system will be bonded and assigned to the
internal network. The following questions configure the internal network:
Enter the network address, e.g. 192.168.100.0 (small network),
192.168.0.0, 172.20.0.0 (large network) []:
This parameter allows specification of the network interface that should be used for the internal
network. Enter an interface in the format of 192.168.100.0 to use a small interface that will support
128 DX Storage nodes. Enter an interface in the format of 192.168.0.0 or 172.20.0.0 to use a larger
network that will support much larger DX Storage clusters. The entered interface will be divided
between the CSN(s) and privileged applications on the internal network and the DX Storage nodes.
The initial configuration process automatically creates multiple alias IP addresses on the internal
network for use by various system services and reserves similar IP addresses for a Secondary
CSN.
Enter a list of IP addresses (separated by spaces) for external name
servers [8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4]: This parameter allows specification of one or more DNS servers
for the external interface. Entries must be separated by spaces. Publicly available name servers
have been defaulted.
Enter a list of IP addresses or server names (separated by a space) for
external time servers [0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org]: This
parameter allows specification of one or more NTP servers for the external interface. The defaults
are public NTP servers.
Enter a unique storage cluster name. This name cannot be changed once
assigned. A fully qualified domain name is recommended []: This parameter
