6.16.8 Change NAS Interface

It is necessary to perform the following procedures about changing the NAS interface configuration.

1. NAS interface settings

2. IP address settings

The procedure to change the NAS interface settings 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 Main pane, click the target NAS interface checkbox.

6. On the Action pane, click Modify under NAS Interface.
   The NAS Interface Setting screen 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.
   Port	This is an allocation port of the NAS interface. It is possible to set only when a port is not allocated to the NAS interface to be changed. The port where the NAS interface is not allocated must be selected. 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 port can be changed by the selecting of another port or 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 configuration items which can be changed differ depending on the configuration status of the allocation port of the target NAS interface.
   If you would like to change a unchangeable item in this operation, perform the deletion and recreation of NAS interface.

   Status of Port Which NAS Interface to Be Changed Is Allocated			Explanation of Port Status	Availability of Changing (A=Available, N/A=Not Available)
   Port Bonding	Redundancy	Interface Settings		IP Version, RIP Setting	Port	Redundant Port	Set Member Port of Bonding Port (*1)	Detail Settings of Bonding Port
   -	-	Y	Single port	A	N/A	A	A	A
   -	Y	Y	Active port	A	N/A	A	N/A	N/A
   Ma	-	Y	Master port	A	N/A	A	A	A
   Ma	Y	Y	Master and active port	A	N/A	A	A	A

   *1: It is not possible to delete all member ports.

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

   • Port Bonding

     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

   Refer to [Information] in step 5 in "6.16.6 Create NAS Interface" for ports which can be set to the allocation port, the redundant port, and the member port, based on the configuration status of the target port.

7. Enter the necessary information, and then click Next.
   The IP Address Setting screen is displayed.

   Item Name	Explanation
   IP Address	This is an IP address of IPv4 format. The input condition is as follows: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx is an integer from 0 to 255)
   Subnet Mask	This is a subnet mask of IPv4 format. The input condition is as follows: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx is an integer from 0 to 255)
   Gateway	This is a gateway of IPv4 format. The input condition is as follows: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx is an integer from 0 to 255)
   IPv6 Link Local Address	This is a link local address of IPv6 format. When IPv6 Global Address is not specified, specification is required. The input condition is as follows: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (xxxx is a hexadecimal number from 0 to ffff)
   IPv6 Global Address	This is a global address of IPv6 format. When IPv6 Link Local Address is not specified, specification is required. When IPv6 Gateway is specified, specification is required. The input condition is as follows: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (xxxx is a hexadecimal number from 0 to ffff)
   IPv6 Gateway	This is a gateway of IPv6 format. The input condition is as follows: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (xxxx is a hexadecimal number from 0 to ffff)
   IPv6 Prefix length	This is a prefix length of IPv6 format. When IPv6 Global Address is specified, specification is required. The input condition is as follows: Use an integer from 3 to 128.

   Point

   The IPv6 address can be input in abbreviated notation. Refer to "Configuration" of "3.5.11 Note for IPv6" for details.

8. Enter the necessary information, and then click Next.
   The information confirmation screen is displayed.

9. Check that the input information is correct, and then click Modify.
