Configure Gigabit Ethernet Networks --------------------------------------------
This section is used to configure the Gigabit Ethernet networks, excluding
the Management Network. If configured on all servers, these networks can be
used as an interconnect to client systems. If not configured on all servers,
these networks are only configured on the Administration and MDS servers and
are used to connect to your site network. If you do not want to configure the
Gigabit Ethernet networks you can proceed to the next section.
Use the Add a Bonded Network device option if you want to add a bonded device.
Use the Delete a Bonded Network device option if you want to delete a bonded device.
Note: a network device is marked as Unused if a Start IP for the
network has not been entered. Once a Start IP is entered the device
is marked as Inuse.
1) eth1 Inuse
2) Add a Bonded Network device
3) Delete a Bonded Network device
a) All of the above

7.4.2.2 Configuring bonded Gigabit Ethernet networks
NOTE: When you first configure a Gigabit Ethernet network, you specify the IP address on the network for
the first server in the system. The system software assumes that the IP addresses for all of the servers in the
system are contiguous, and assigns the IP addresses accordingly. However, you can later change the
IP addresses of individual servers. The process for doing this is described in Chapter 7 of the
HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System User Guide.
Multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can be aggregated into a single bonded interface. To add a bonded
Gigabit Ethernet network, select the Add a Bonded Network device option on the Configure
Gigabit Ethernet Networks menu. When prompted, enter the information that you gathered in your
preinstallation planning and recorded in the worksheet in Table B-3.
Example 7-6 shows an example of configuring a bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnect. In this example,
three Gigabit Ethernet networks are detected and are unused. The example shows how to create a bonded
network, using Gigabit Ethernet network devices eth2 and eth3 as slave devices.
