IPADDR=172.168.0.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=172.168.0.0
BROADCAST=172.168.0.255
GATEWAY=172.168.0.1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
5. The entries for NETMASK, NETWORK, BROADCAST, and GATEWAY are
optional. DEVICE=bondn is the required name for the bond, where n specifies the
bond number. IPADDR is the private IP address. To use bond0 as a virtual
device, you must specify which devices will be bonded as slaves.
6. For each device that is a bond member, perform the following steps:
7. In the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, edit the ifcfg-ethn files containing
the following lines (where ethn is the name of a port participating in a bond):
DEVICE=ethn
HWADDR=<MAC ADDRESS>
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
8. Type service network restart and ignore any warnings.
9. On each node, type ifconfig to verify that the private interface is functioning. The
private IP address for the node should be assigned to the private interface bond0.
10. When the private IP addresses are set up on every node, ping each IP address
from one node to ensure that the private network is functioning.
11. Type ssh <private IP> to connect to each node and verify that the private
network and ssh are functioning correctly.
Installing and Configuring the Dell|EMC SAN
Preparing external Dell|EMC SAN storage for use with Oracle is accomplished in three
phases:
• Preparing the Clariion storage array.
• Preparing the Fibre Channel switches.
• Preparing the host-based storage drivers
The following steps provide an overview of the major tasks required to set up a
functioning SAN. However, the actual process is fairly detailed, and is best performed
by a Dell Consultant or after attending Dell’s SAN training.
1. Initial hardware setup – this includes placing hardware in racks, connecting cables
between components, and powering up the storage array.
2. Install Host Bus Adapters in the PowerEdge servers
a. Two HBAs are required for high availability.
b. Both PCI-Express and PCI-X versions are available
