2.4.3.1.3 Configuration 3—using the default and private partitions for the HP SFS traffic
In this example, there is one client cluster, cluster A, containing two nodes. There are also two client nodes
that are running a Version 2.4 kernel; in this example, these nodes are configured as NFS servers.
Note that in this configuration:
• Client nodes that are running a Version 2.4 kernel can only belong to the default partition.
• The nodes in cluster A cannot communicate with the nodes in the default partition.
• The nodes in cluster A and the nodes using the default partition can communicate with the HP SFS
servers.
• No special configuration settings are required on the client nodes that are using the default partition.
• HP SFS traffic will use the private partition as well as the default partition. The HP SFS server nodes
need to join both partitions.
Table 2-7 shows the partition table at the switch.
Table 2-8 shows how the IPoIB interfaces could be configured where one network is configured for each
partition.
