Note: Unless you are using a dedicated management network, the default gateway is the same for all network
interfaces on an array. To modify the default gateway, see Modifying the default gateway for a member.
6. Select
Enable this interface. You must enable the interface in order to use it.
7. Click
OK.
Enabling or disabling a network interface
Enabling a network interface makes it operational if you configure it properly. Disabling a network interface makes
it unable to service network I/O requests, but does not unconfigure the interface.
Disabling a functioning network interface disconnects al
l iSCSI initiators associated with the member. Most
initiators reconnect to another interface automatically.
Requirement: A member must have at le
ast one functioning network interface that is configured, enabled, and
connected to a network. If you disable the only functioning network interface on a member, the
group sets the member offline. If the member is the only member in the group, the group is not
accessible from the network.
1. Click
Group, then expand Members, then select the member name, and then click the Network tab.
2. In the IP Configuration panel, select the network interface.
3. In the Activities panel, click
Enable interface to enable the interface or click Disable interface to
disable the interface.
Unconfiguring a network interface
If you unconfigure a functioning network interface, the member disconnects all iSCSI initiators from that interface.
Most initiators reconnect to another interface automatically.
Requirement: A member must have at le
ast one network interface that is functioning, configured, enabled, and
connected to a network. If you unconfigure the only functioning network interface on a member,
the group sets the member offline. If the member is the only member in the group, the group
becomes inaccessible from the network.
1. Click
Group, then expand Members, then select the member name, and then click the Network tab.
2. In the IP Configuration panel, select the network interface.
3. In the Activities panel, click
Modify IP Settings.
4. In the IP address field, delete the IP address.
5. Click
OK.
Modifying the default gateway for a member
When you add a member to a group, you can specify a default gateway that the member uses for all its network
interfaces. You can later modify this setting.
