Chapter 2 First-Time Configuration
Collecting Configuration Information
Static route for
management interface
The destination IP address with subnet mask and
then the gateway IP address.
Required if
SN 5428-2 is
managed from a
subnet other than the
one to which it is
physically attached,
unless the SN 5428-2
will be configured to
use RIP listening. See
Chapter 3,
“Configuring System
Parameters.”
System name The name you want to use for the storage router. If
you use the services of a domain name server
(DNS), the system name is the same name you will
enter and associate with the management
interface. Maximum length is 19 characters.
Required
High availability (HA)
configuration
The SN 5428-2 can run in either standalone or
clustered mode. The default is clustered.
Standalone mode is recommended if the storage
router is not intended to provide high availability
along with other storage routers.
Required for SCSI
routing only
Standalone or
clustered
High availability (HA)
cluster name
The name of the cluster in which the storage router
is to participate. Clusters are multiple storage
routers that back each other up in case of hardware
or software failure. All storage routers that
participate in a cluster must have the same cluster
name.
Required only if
clustered was
specified for the HA
configuration
High availability (HA)
IP address and subnet
mask
The IP address and subnet mask of the storage
router HA interface. The HA interface and
management interface must be on unique IP
networks. If the SN 5428-2 is to participate in a
cluster, the HA IP address is required; if the
SN 5428-2 is a stand-alone machine, it is optional.
Note The HA interface for each storage router
in a cluster must be on the same IP subnet.
Required only if
clustered was
specified for the HA
configuration
Primary DNS IP address The IP address of the primary domain name server
to be accessed by the storage router. Required if
you refer to any other server via name rather than
IP address.
Optional
Secondary DNS IP
address
A backup domain name server from which the
storage router can request services when the
primary DNS is unavailable.
Optional
