6.3 HP StoreAll Storage Installation Guide (TA768-96085, April 2013)

The following commands show configuring a bonded VIF and backup nodes for a unified network
topology using the 10.10.x.y subnet. VLAN tagging is configured for hosts ib142–129 and
ib142–131 on the 51 subnet.
Add the bond0.51 interface with the VLAN tag:
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0.51 -h ib142-129
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0.51 -h ib142-131
Assign an IP address to the bond0:51 VIFs on each node:
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0.51 -h ib142-129 -I 15.226.51.101 -M 255.255.255.0
# ibrix_nic -c -n bond0.51 -h ib142-131 -I 15.226.51.102 -M 255.255.255.0
Add the bond0.51:2 VIF on top of the interface:
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0.51:2 -h ib142-131
# ibrix_nic -a -n bond0.51:2 -h ib142-129
Configure backup nodes:
# ibrix_nic -b -H ib142-129/bond0.51,ib142-131/bond0.51:2
# ibrix_nic -b -H ib142-131/bond0.51,ib142-129/bond0.51:2
Create the user FM VIF:
ibrix_fm -c 15.226.51.125 -d bond0.51:1 -n 255.255.255.0 -v user

Guide.
Configuring link state monitoring for iSCSI network interfaces
Do not configure link state monitoring for user network interfaces or VIFs that will be used for SMB
or NFS. Link state monitoring is supported only for use with iSCSI storage network interfaces, such
as those provided with 9300 Gateway systems.
To configure link state monitoring on a 9300 system, use the following command:
ibrix_nic -N -h HOST -A IFNAME
To determine whether link state monitoring is enabled on an iSCSI interface, run the following
command:
ibrix_nic -l
Next, check the LINKMON column in the output. The value yes means that link state monitoring
is enabled; no means that it is not enabled.
