Adding Network Adapter to DX Storage Nodes

You can add additional network adapters to the DX Storage Nodes to expand
the network bandwidth to the storage nodes. To add additional network
adapters:
1 Turn off the DX Storage Node.
2 Follow the steps to add a network adapter in the Dell DX6axyS system
Hardware Owner's Manual.
3 Connect the Ethernet ports to the private network.
4 Turn on the DX Storage Node.
The DX Storage Node is automatically configured with all network ports bonded.

Adding Network Adapters to DX Cluster Services Nodes

You can add additional network adapters to the DX Cluster Services Nodes to
expand the network bandwidth on both the private and public network.
NOTE:
Access to remote clusters is interrupted when the primary Cluster Services
Node is offline. Do not promote a secondary Cluster Services Node to primary as it
cannot be demoted back to secondary. Demoting the original primary Cluster
Services Node as a secondary Cluster Services Node requires re-imaging the
original primary Cluster Services Node.
To add additional network adapters:
1 Turn off the DX Cluster Services Node.
2 Follow the steps in the Dell DX6a00 system Hardware Owner's Manual to
add a network adapter.
3 Connect the Ethernet cable(s) for the external and internal network
accordingly. See Figure 3-5.
4 Turn on the DX Cluster Services Node.
5 Change the IP address of the external network interface to a new valid IP
address from the Content Services Configuration page of the DX Cluster
Services Administration console.
The first half of the Ethernet ports on the additional network adapter
automatically bonds with the existing network ports on the external
network and the second half automatically bonds with the existing
network ports on the internal private network.
