6.16.6 Create NAS Interface

It is necessary to perform the following procedures about making a NAS interface.

  1. NAS interface settings

  2. IP address settings

The procedure to create a NAS interface is as follows:

  1. On the global navigation tab, click Storage.
    The registered ETERNUS Disk storage systems are displayed on the Main pane.

  2. On the Main pane, click the target ETERNUS Disk storage system.

  3. On the Category pane, click NAS Management.
    The items of the Category pane change into the items concerning the NAS Management.

  4. On the Category pane, click NAS Interface.
    The NAS interface list is displayed on the Main pane.

  5. On the Action pane, click Create under NAS Interface.
    The NAS Interface Setting page is displayed.

    Item Name

    Explanation

    IP Version

    This is a version of IP address that the NAS interface uses.

    RIP Setting

    This is an RIP function setting to select the access route set to the NAS interface automatically.

    VLAN ID

    This is the selection of whether to set a VLAN ID to the NAS interface.

    Select "Set" in cases when allocating multiple NAS interfaces to one port.

    Port

    This is an allocation port of the NAS interface.

    The following port cannot be selected:

    • A member port of the bonding port

    Redundant Port

    This is a redundant port for the allocation port of the NAS interface.

    When the allocation port is made redundant, the redundant configuration can be released by selecting "None".

    Select the master port in cases when specifying a bonding port to the redundant port.

    The following ports cannot be selected:

    • A port in same CM as the allocation port

    • A redundant port of another port

    • A member port of the bonding port

    Set Member Port of Bonding Port

    For the allocation port and the redundant port, set member ports to be bonded.

    It is possible to set a maximum of 15 member ports.

    When the bonding port has been set, it is possible to release the port bonding by deleting all of the member ports.

    When the allocation port is made redundant, it will not be possible to newly create or release bonding port. Set the bonding port after releasing the redundant configuration.

    The following ports cannot be selected:

    • A port of CM different from CM in which the master port exists

    • Port to which a NAS interface has already been allocated

    • A duplicated port

    • A master of the bonding port

    • A member port of another bonding port

    Mode

    This is the operating mode of the bonding port.

    When the balancing mode has been selected, specify Load Balancing item.

    Load Balancing

    This is the load balancing method for when the balancing mode has been selected.

    Hash Policy

    This is the method used to decide the port to be used.

    This is to be selected in cases when the operating mode is balancing (Exclusive OR) or IEEEE802.3ad.

    Information

    As listed below, the ports which can be configured as the allocation port, redundant port, and member port differ depending on the configuration status of the target port.

    *2: Only the redundant port configured to the allocation port will be displayed.
    *3: Only the member port configured to the allocation port will be displayed.

    The meaning of the "Port Configuration Status" in the above table is as follows:

    • Port Bonding

      Me: A status of being configured to the member port
      Ma: A status of being configured to the master port

    • Redundancy

      Y: A status of being made redundant

    • Interface Settings

      Y: A status of having a NAS interface allocated

    • VLAN ID

      No: A status of having a NAS interface not having a VLAN ID configured allocated
      Yes: A status of having a NAS interface having a VLAN ID configured allocated
      Mix: A status of having a NAS interface not having a VLAN ID configured and a NAS interface having a VLAN ID configured allocated

    Point

    For the Load Balancing and Hash Policy of the port bonding, the same configurations will be implemented to the allocation port and the redundant port.
