Choosing an IP network to support Data Services
Select the IP network that provides the file storage systems that underpin Data Services.
If an IP network that provides file storage does not exist, create it.
Before you begin
This operation requires the System Administrator role in ViPR.
Procedure
1. Select Admin > Data Services > Setup.
2. In the Network Configuration area, select the network that you want to provide the
virtual arrays used by the data services.
If you have not configured a network, you can do it from the Admin > Virtual Assets >
Virtual Arrays page by selecting a virtual array and using Create IP Network.
3. Select Save.
Configuring the ViPR controller to allow access by data VMs
Before you deploy data VMs, the addresses of the data VMs must be specified in the ViPR
controller node configuration to allow each data node to connect to the Controller
services.
Before you begin
This operation requires the Security Administrator role in ViPR.
Allocate IPv4 addresses for all data nodes that you intend to add. If you create a subnet
for the data VMs, you can use the subnet address. Using a subnet enables you to add
data VMs without having to perform this procedure.
The Controller node needs to know which data VMs it will access so that these nodes are
allowed to connect through its firewall to access the controller node coordination
services.
This configuration must be in place when the data VM first starts. If it is not, the data VMs
need to be restarted, one by one, after the data node addresses are added.
Procedure
1. Select Admin > System > Configuration.
2. In the Network > Data Services area of the Configuration page, enter the IPv4 address
of the data node VMs that you are adding in the Data VM IPs field. If you are adding
more than one, enter all addresses in a comma separated list. Alternatively, if you
have created a new subnet for the data VMs, enter the subnet address.
3. Select Save.
Deploying ViPR data VMs
For Data Services (object and HDFS storage) support, you need to deploy data VMs in
addition to the ViPR Controller VMs.
Before you begin
u
The ViPR virtual appliance to which you are adding data VMs must already be
deployed.
