Configuring a Global Server
Adding a Global Server
CLI Storage-Management Guide 10-9
Reverting to the Default NetBIOS Name
You can revert to the default NetBIOS name with the no wins-name command. The
default NetBIOS name is the first component of the global server’s FQDN (for
example, “\\FTP1” for global server “ftp1.government.gov”).
no wins-name
The CLI prompts for confirmation before deleting the name.
For example, the following command sequence sets the NetBIOS name back to its
default (“\\MYCO”) for the virtual server at “192.168.25.87:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# global server myco.com
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[myco.com])# virtual server bstnA6k 192.168.25.87 255.255.255.0 vlan 25
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[myco.com~192.168.25.87])# no wins-name
Delete all NETBIOS aliases for this Virtual Server? [yes/no] yes
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[myco.com~192.168.25.87])# ...
Enabling a Virtual Server
The final step in virtual-server configuration is to enable it. You must explicitly
enable a virtual server for the switch to accept clients at its VIP address. From
gbl-gs-vs mode, use the
enable command to activate the virtual server:
enable
This makes it possible for global-server clients to access the virtual server’s services.
(You must also enable the global server, so that it accepts clients to pass to the virtual
server.)
For example, the following command sequence enables the virtual server on
“bstnA6k” at 192.168.25.10, and then enables its global server at www.wwmed.com:
bstnA6k(gbl)# global server www.wwmed.com
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[www.wwmed.com])# virtual server bstnA6k 192.168.25.10 255.255.255.0 vlan 25
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[www.wwmed.com~192.168.25.10])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[www.wwmed.com~192.168.25.10])# exit
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[www.wwmed.com])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[www.wwmed.com])# ...
