Table 15 Important network configuration information (continued)
Why it mattersImportant to know
(Steps 3-5)substitute the actual names of your interfaces
(ifcfg-eth<ID>), bonds (ifcfg-bond<ID>), tagged
VLANs (bond<ID>.<VLANID>) and bridges
(ifcfg-br-<Name>) when configuring the network.
csstart does not support spaces in bridge names.
(Steps 3-5)
Do not include spaces in bridge name.

Prerequisites
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 is installed on the management host.
• You are using a Linux server as your staging environment.
• The management hypervisor has connectivity to the HP 3PAR storage system. This is required
if you are using block storage for instances. See HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage documents
(page 60).
Procedure 8 Configuring the network infrastructure
1. Log in to the management hypervisor.
2. Change the directory to etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
3. Create the interface, bond and bridge configuration files for the Data Center Management
Network and the Cloud Management Network.
See KVM sample network configuration (page 36).
See Important network configuration information (page 36).
a. Open the ifcfg-ethM file and add the following lines:
MASTER=bondA
SLAVE=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
Save the change and close the file.
b. Open the ifcfg-ethN file and add the following lines:
MASTER=bondA
SLAVE=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
Save the change and close the file.
c. Create a new bond configuration file using the name ifcfg-bondA. This bond connects to
bondA.X for the Data Center Management Network and bond A.Y for the Cloud
Management Network. The configuration file should contain the following lines:
DEVICE=bondA
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=no
BONDING_OPTS=”mode=5 miimon=100”
Save and close the file.
d. Create a new bond configuration file using the name ifcfg-bondA.X. This bond connects
to the Data Center Management Network bridge. The configuration file should contain
the following lines:
DEVICE=bondA.X
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
