This section explains how to modify network resource settings.
The following items can be modified.
Operation | L-Server Status | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Physical L-Server | Physical L-Server (iSCSI Boot) | Virtual L-Server | |||||
Defined | Preserved | Allocated | All | Defined | Preserved | Allocated | |
IP address change (Admin LAN/public LAN) (*1) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes (*2) | - | - |
Changing network resources to connect to a NIC or a NIC group | Yes | Yes | Yes | - | Yes (*2) | - | - |
NIC addition and deletion | Yes | - | - | - | Yes (*2, *4) | - | |
Changing untagged VLAN settings (use/not use) | Yes | Yes | Yes | - | - | - | - |
Adding or deleting network resources to connect to a NIC or a NIC group | Yes | Yes | Yes | - | - | - | - |
Redundancy modification (Example: Changing the combination of NIC1 and 2 to NIC3 and 4) | Yes | Yes (*3) | Yes (*3) | - | - | - | - |
Redundancy addition (Example: Changing NIC1 to the combination of NIC1 and 2) | Yes | Yes (*3) | Yes (*3) | - | - | - | - |
Redundancy deletion (Example: Changing the combination of NIC1 and 2 to NIC1 only) | Yes | Yes (*3) | Yes (*3) | - | - | - | - |
*1: Changing IP addresses across subnets is not possible.
*2: IP addresses and network resources of virtual L-Servers can only be changed when the server's status is "defined".
*3: Select "Admin LAN (MAC address 1)" of the physical server that the L-Server will be located on, as the admin LAN of the physical L-Server. When performing admin LAN redundancy for the physical L-Server, all NICs of the admin LAN for the physical server that the L-Server will be located on must be included.
*4: For L-Servers with RHEL-KVM or RHEL-Xen selected for the VM type, the NIC cannot be added or deleted.
Note
Modifications to L-Server specifications have no effect on the settings of the OS installed on the L-Server. Modify the network settings of the OS referring to the IP address and network information of the modified L-Server.
For physical L-Servers, the position of the NIC used for the admin LAN cannot be changed.
After deployment of L-Servers, do not change the labels for network resources using port groups on VMware.
When the label for a network resource to use is changed accidentally, the new L-Server deployment will fail.
Use the following procedure to change network settings.
When the L-Server status is "defined"
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Change Settings]-[Definition] from the popup menu.
The [Modify L-Server's definition] dialog is displayed.
Use the [Network] tab to change network resource settings of the L-Server.
Information
For Physical L-Servers
For details on operation of the [Network] tab, refer to "16.2.4 [Network] Tab".
For Virtual L-Servers
For details on operation of the [Network] tab, refer to "16.3.4 [Network] Tab".
Click <OK>.
When resources have not been allocated (preserved) or have been allocated (allocated) to the L-Server
Note
When resources have not been allocated (preserved) or have been allocated (allocated) to the L-Server, only the network resources of physical L-Servers can be modified.
When resources have not been allocated (preserved) or have been allocated (allocated) to the L-Server, the NIC cannot be added or deleted.
Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Change Settings]-[Network Configuration] from the popup menu.
The [Change network configuration of an L-Server] dialog is displayed.
Enter the following items:
Clicking <Add> adds a network.
Select a network resource to connect with in the [Add a Network] dialog.
Information
When adding a new NIC or NIC group, select the number of "(Undefined)" for [NIC] in the [Add a Network] dialog. When performing redundancy for the NIC, select the pair of NICs to use.
When adding an already defined NIC or a network to connect with the NIC group, select the defined number for [NIC] in the [Add a Network] dialog.
Clicking <Delete> deletes the selected network.
If the number is not the NIC number specified when creating an L-Server, <OK> is not activated. When <OK> is not activated, click <Add> to configure undefined NICs.
Click <Change> to select a network resource that is connected to a NIC or a NIC group.
Enter an IP address to set for the L-Server. If the IP address is not entered, an IP address is automatically allocated to the L-Server.
Select whether or not to use untagged VLAN for a NIC or a NIC group.
Click <OK>.
From the command-line, execute rcxadm lserver modify.
For details on the rcxadm lserver modify command, refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
