When you create redundant transfer routes on the network, you need to create a single type virtual interface from multiple interfaces by executing the following command on NetApp Filer(7-Mode);
vif create single virtual <interface name> <interface 1>, <interface 2>, ...
The virtual interface name is specified as vif0, vif1, vif2, and so on.
Example
vif create single vif0 e0,e1
The virtual interface is created using the above command. If NetApp Filer(7-Mode) is restarted, the virtual interface will be lost. You need to set up /etc/rc as the virtual interface can automatically be created during NetApp Filer(7-Mode) restart using the following steps:
Mount /vol/vol0 on the NetApp Filer(7-Mode) management server.
Add the "vif create single" command that is used to create a virtual interface above the ifconfig line. ifconfig sets up an actual interface in /etc/rc of NetApp Filer(7-Mode). Then, give commentary # to ifconfig and add the new ifconfig line for the virtual interface.
Example
vif create single vif0 e0,e1 #ifconfig e0 192.168.0.1 mediatype auto #ifconfig e1 192.168.0.2 mediatype auto ifconfig vif0 192.168.0.1 mediatype auto
