DR Series Best Practice Guide

1. Upgrade the DR appliance to the latest 3.2 firmware.

2. After the upgrade, two additional 1 GB interfaces will appear. The 10GB interfaces will be bonded

as bond0. Use the following command to view the available network interfaces:

network --show

3. Break bond0 and release eth0 from bond0 using the following command:

network -- delete --member <eth(0-N)>

network -- restart

4. Use the following command to view the released interface eth0:

network --show

5. Assign an IP address and DNS name to the released interfaces using the following command:

network --create_interface --nwif< ehtN> --static --ip<ip address> --netmask<netmask> --

name<dns name> --restart

6. Use the following command to verify network settings:

network --show

7. Create two CIFS containers on the DR appliance. One container called cifs-container-1 and the

other cifs-container-2.

Example

administrator@DR>

network --delete -- member eth0

network --restart

Example

administrator@DR>

network --create_interface --nwif eth0 --static_ip x.x.x.x --netmask

255.255.255.0 --name dr-cifs.local --restart

Note: Bond0 will maintain the default name given to it at time of setup.

Note: Take note of the DNS names for bond0 and for the configured 1GB interface. These DNS

names are required to force traffic to the specified interface.
