4.0.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Administration Guide (T5392-96052, March 2010)

IP: Enter the IP address for the network interface.
Netmask: Enter the net mask for the network interface.
Allow Administrative Traffic: Specify whether the network interface can host
administrative traffic for Matrix Server. The options are:
• Allow. The default is to allow the traffic.
• Discourage. This network will be used for administrative traffic only if no other
network is available. When a network that allows the traffic becomes available
to all servers in the cluster, the administrative traffic will fail over to that network.
• Exclude. This network will never be used for administrative traffic.
To add a network interface from the command line, use this command:
mx netif add --server <server> --netmask <interface_netmask>
[--adminTraffic <allow|discourage|exclude>] <interface_ip>
To modify a network interface, use this command:
mx netif update --netmask <interface_netmask> [--adminTraffic <allow|
discourage|exclude>] <interface_ip>
Remove a stale network interface
This option can be used to remove stale Matrix Server configuration information. For
example, you may have changed the network definition for an interface, but the
original, now stale, network information is still present in the Matrix Server
configuration. To remove the stale network interface from the Matrix Server
configuration, select that interface on the Servers window, right-click, and then select
Delete.
You cannot delete a network interface that is up. If you need to remove a network
interface from an online server, first physically remove the corresponding cable from
the server. PanPulse will then report that the network interface is down and you can
perform the delete operation.
The mx command to remove a network interface is as follows:
mx netif delete <interface_ip>
