HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Administration Guide (403103-005, January 2008)

Chapter 6: Configure Network Interfaces 59
To allow or discourage administrative traffic on a network interface,
select that network interface on the Servers window, right-click, and then
select either “Allow Admin. Traffic,” “Discourage Admin. Traffic,” or
“Exclude Admin Traffic” as appropriate. The setting is applied to all
interfaces within the same subnet on all servers of the cluster.
On the command line, issue the appropriate mx netif command:
mx netif allowadmintraffic <interface_ip> ...
mx netif discourageadmintraffic <interface_ip> ...
mx netif excludeadmintraffic <interface_ip> ...
When you configure a network interface to allow, discourage, or exclude
administrative traffic, the setting applies to all interfaces within the same
subnet on all servers of the cluster.
Enable or Disable a Network Interface for
Virtual Hosting
By default, all network interfaces are enabled for virtual hosting. To
enable or disable a network interface for virtual hosting, select that
interface on the Servers window, right-click, and then select either
“Enable Hosting” or “Disable Hosting” as appropriate.
From the command line, use the following command to disable virtual
hosting:
mx netif disable <interface_ip> ...
Use the following command to enable virtual hosting:
mx netif enable <interface_ip> ...
Add or Modify a Network Interface
When you add a server to the cluster, its network interfaces are
automatically configured into the cluster. Occasionally, you may want to
preconfigure a network interface. For example, you can add a network
interface that either does not currently exist on a server, or that is on a
server that is down. You might also want to modify an existing interface.
