2.4 NAS configuration

This section explains how to configure NAS.

Initial configuration

Perform initial configuration including network systems and RAID according to the NAS manual.

Volume creation

Create a volume or a qtree according to the NAS manual. The volume name or the qtree name is required when the environment of the PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for NAS is configured.

Host setup

If you use a DNS server on NAS, you need to perform IP address to host name mapping. If you do not use a DNS server, register a host name and an associate IP using the following steps:

  1. Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the management server for NAS.

  2. Register a host name and an associate IP of a cluster node in the "/etc/hosts" file of NAS.

You also need to register an NAS host name and an associate IP in DNS or in the "/etc/hosts" file of the cluster node.

Note

  • Confirm it can access the NAS device after the setting is completed. Confirm it is possible to access it by the ping command for the NAS device with the IPv4 address. Confirm it is possible to access it by the ping6 command for the NAS device with the IPv6 address.

  • You must specify the same host name as that of the cluster node in the DNS or "/etc/hosts" file of NAS. If the name is different, the file lock might not be properly controlled.

SSH setup

This product uses the SSH 2.0 protocol to control the NAS. Setup the SSH 2.0 protocol that uses the public key authentication to cluster node and NAS. It is necessary to be able to connect from cluster node to NAS without the password.

For details about setup procedure, refer to a manual of NAS.

Note

After setup, confirm the command can be executed by using ssh without the password from cluster node to NAS.
