HP LeftHand 4330 10 GbE SFP+ Installation Instructions (BQ891-96004, November 2012)

a. Power on the other storage systems in the
management group.
b. Rediscover the storage systems in the CMC.
c. Wait for the storage system status to become
Normal on all storage systems.
d. Verify that the management group is
operating with a status of Normal. (Once all
storage systems are up with all SAN/iQ
software services running properly, the CMC
shows the management group status as
Normal.)
16. For a replacement 10 GbE board:
If the bond was previously configured, the storage
system should boot up with the bond configured
using the ports in the new 10 GbE controller.
a. Log in to the storage system using the CMC.
b. Navigate to the storage system Network
category TCP/IP tab window.
c. Verify that the bond is detected and the IP
address settings are valid.
Configure the 10 GbE ports for SAN/iQ
software communication using the CMC
For each storage system in the cluster, configure the
ports as follows:
1. Log in to the management group, if necessary.
2. In the CMC, select the storage system and
navigate to the Network category TCP/IP tab
window.
3. Right-click the 10 GbE port labeled NICSlot1:Port1
and select Edit.
4. In the Edit TCP/IP Configuration window, select
one of the following options to assign an IP
address:
• Obtain an IP address automatically using the
DHCP/BOOTP protocol
• Obtain a static IP Address, and manually
assign an available IP address
If you are prompted with the following message,
click OK to continue. The condition described is
not actually true.
The storage system’s IP address,
0.0.0.0, is not reachable by the
cluster’s Virtual IP (VIP).
Change the storage system's IP
address or cluster's VIP address
and/or subnet masks to ensure they
are on the same network. Then try
again.
To allow this IP address click OK.
(Note: The storage system's IP
address must be on the same network
as the cluster's VIP and subnet
mask.)
To cancel and not change the storage
system's IP address, click Cancel.
5. When the confirmation prompt opens, click OK
to confirm the TCP/IP settings change on this
storage system.
The CMC searches for the storage system with
the changed IP address.
6. Log in to the management group (if necessary).
7. Log in to the storage system and navigate to the
Network category TCP/IP tab window.
8. Verify that the NICSlot1:Port1 interface was
assigned an IP address successfully.
9. Select the Communication tab and verify that the
SAN/iQ Interface is set to communicate through
the NICSlot1:Port1 interface that you just
configured.
Configure the 10 GbE and 10 GbE ALB
bond (using NICSlot:Port1 and
NICSlot:Port2)
CAUTION: Bonding both the ports on the 10
GbE network adapter and then using this bond
for all SAN/iQ software communication could
pose a risk to your volume and snapshot
availability in the event of any network
connectivity and/or functionality issues with the
10 GbE adapter. If you set up this bond
configuration, make sure you configure your
volumes and snapshots for 2-way or higher
replication to ensure that your volumes and
snapshots remain available at all times.
Creating the ALB bond
1. Log in to the management group, if necessary.
2. Navigate to the storage system Network category
TCP/IP tab window.
3. If more than one bond is configured on the 1 GbE
ports, delete the second bond.
4. Select the 10G ports labeled NICSlot1:Port1 and
NICSlot1:Port2.
