Adding a NAS Appliance to a FluidFS Cluster Using the CLI
Use this procedure to add a NAS appliance to a FluidFS cluster using the CLI. The recommended way to
add a NAS appliance is to use the FluidFS NAS Manager WebUI. This procedure should be performed only
by Dell Technical Support Services.
1. Log on to the CLI of the existing FluidFS cluster (do not log on to the new NAS appliance) as
described on Accessing the CLI.
2. Determine the network ID of the existing client subnets for use in Step 3.
networking subnets list
3. Configure the client VIPs (PrivateIPs) and an IP address for each NAS controller that you are adding
(PublicIPs). Dell recommends adding at least one client VIP per NAS controller.
networking subnets edit <NetworkID> <netmask> -PrivateIPs <x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x>
PublicIPs <x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x>
For example:
networking subnets edit 192.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 -PrivateIPs
192.10.18.38,192.10.18.39,192.10.18.40,192.10.18.41 -PublicIPs
192.10.18.42,192.10.18.43
4. Repeat Step 3 for additional client subnets.
For example:
networking subnets edit 10.10.76.0 255.255.252.0 -PrivateIPs
10.10.78.121,10.10.78.122,10.10.78.123,10.10.78.124 -PublicIPs
10.10.78.125,10.10.78.126
5. (iSCSI only) Configure additional IP addresses for the iSCSI SAN subnets.
hardware fabrics iscsi edit <name> -ControllersIPs <x.x.x.x>
For example:
hardware fabrics iscsi edit SANb -ControllersIPs
192.11.18.14,192.11.18.15,192.11.18.16,192.11.18.17
hardware fabrics iscsi edit SAN -ControllersIps
192.11.18.10,192.11.18.11,192.11.18.12,192.11.18.13
6. Add the NAS appliance.
hardware nas-appliances add-appliance <ApplianceServiceTag>
For example:
hardware nas-appliances add-appliance L846185
7. For iSCSI, the IQNs will have FluidFS NasControllerX in the name.
8. In the output of the following command, make sure Luns Accessibility shows Optimal from all NAS
controllers to all NAS volumes.
