This section explains the preparations for setting up a network.
The network environment and physical server required to run Resource Orchestrator must satisfy the following prerequisites:
The configuration for the admin and public LANs has been designed
The network environment for the admin LAN is configured
For details on the network environment for the admin LAN, refer to "9.1.1 Admin LAN Network Design".
Perform the following procedures if necessary.
The configuration for the iSCSI LAN has been designed
For details on how to design and configure a network environment for iSCSI, refer to "9.1.3 Physical Network Design for the Public LAN and iSCSI LAN".
Note
When using a physical L-Server, the default physical network adapter numbers available for the admin LAN are as given below.
When not performing redundancy, "1" is available
When performing redundancy, "1" and "2" are available
When using a NIC other than the default one, the configuration at the time of physical server registration and at L-Server creation must be the same. Thus when designing systems it is recommended that physical servers registered in the same server pool use the same NIC index.
On the physical L-Servers used by L-Platforms, only the default NIC can be used. The physical network adapter number for Network Interface Cards that can be used as an admin LAN on the L-Platform is as below:
When not performing redundancy, "1" is available
When performing redundancy, "1" and "2" are available
Information
The first NIC that is available for the admin LAN can be changed.
For details, refer to "5.4.2 Registering Blade Servers" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When Using IBP
When using IBP, it is necessary to create IBP uplink set for the public LAN and the admin LAN in advance.
When using physical L-Servers, it is necessary to create an IBP uplink set for the public LAN and the admin LAN in advance, using VIOM.
Public LAN
Create a network resource with the same name as the created uplink set.
Admin LAN
Describe the name of the admin LAN uplink set in the uplink set definition file for the admin LAN.
When there are no definition files, refer to "B.1.9 Definition File for Admin LAN Uplink Set" in the "Setup Guide CE".
When Using iSCSI
For details on the definition files for iSCSI network, refer to "B.1.10 Definition File for iSCSI Network" in the "Setup Guide CE".
