6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System Installation Guide (TA768-96058, June 2012)

4 Post-installation tasks

Updating license keys

Typically you need a license key for each server. If you did not update your license keys during

the installation, download the license keys and install them as described in the administrator guide

for your system.

Configuring and Enabling High Availability

X9730 systems

The installation process configures the servers for High Availability; however, HA is disabled. To

enable HA on the cluster, run the following command on the server hosting the active Fusion

Manager:

ibrix_server –m

X9300/X9320 systems

The servers in the cluster should be configured in backup pairs. To do this, assign standby backup

nodes for the bond0:1 interface. For example, node1 is the backup for node2, and node2 is

the backup for node1. Complete these steps:

1. Identify the VIF:

# ibrix_nic –a -n bond0:2 –h node1,node2

2. Set up a standby server for each VIF:

# ibrix_nic –b –H node1/bond0:1,node2/bond0:2

# ibrix_nic –b –H node2/bond0:1,node1/bond0:2

To enable HA on the cluster, run the following command on the server hosting the active Fusion

Manager:

ibrix_server –m

NOTE: The example shows bond0, which is correct for the unified network. If you are using

separate cluster and user networks, specify bond1.

Using the management console GUI

The GUI is a browser-based interface to the X9000 management console.

If you are using HTTP to access the GUI, navigate to the following location, specifying port 80:

http://<management_console_IP>:80/fusion

If you are using HTTPS, navigate to the following location, specifying port 443:

https://<management_console_IP>:443/fusion

You can open multiple GUI windows to monitor the effect of configuration changes on cluster status.

Changing the GUI user password

The default GUI user is ibrix and the default password is ibrix. The password can be changed

with the Linux passwd command. Run the command on each node and enter the new password

when prompted:

# passwd ibrix
