This section explains how to configure the network environment.
Configurations for LAN Switch Blades
Refer to the LAN switch blade manual to apply the following settings.
VLAN IDs for the admin LAN ports used to communicate with the admin server, as chosen in "7.1 Network Configuration"
Settings chosen in "7.5 Network Device Management Settings"
Information
VLAN settings for switch blade ports not used for the admin LAN can also be set from the ROR console.
For details, refer to "7.3.4 Configuring VLANs on LAN Switch Blades" in the "User's Guide VE".
Note
After setting up a LAN switch blade, perform a backup of the LAN switch blade's configuration definition information. For details on how to back up the configuration definition information of a switch blade, refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade.
Resource Orchestrator uses telnet or SSH to log into LAN switch blades and automate settings.
When telnet or SSH (version 2) connection is disabled, enable it.
Refer to the manual of the relevant product.
Some models of LAN switch blades may restrict the number of simultaneous connections. In this case, log out from other telnet connections.
If telnet or SSH is unavailable, the following features are also unavailable.
Registration of LAN switch blades
Changing of LAN switch blade settings
Changing and setting the VLAN for LAN switch blades (internal and external ports)
Restoration of LAN switch blades
Server switchover (changing network settings while a server is switched over)
SSH connection (SSH version 2) can be selected for the following LAN switch blades.
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 (1.00 or later version)
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8 (1.00 or later version)
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 (4.16 or later version)
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12 (3.12 or later version)
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6 (3.12 or later version)
LAN switch blade PY CB DCB SW 10Gb 18/6/6 (2.1.1_fuj or later version)
For PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8, the maximum unregistered VLAN ID is used for the oob port in the LAN switch blade. When the maximum VLAN ID, "4094", is set in the LAN switch blade and the oob port is used to connect the telnet, the following functions cannot be used.
Changing and setting the VLAN for LAN switch blades (internal and external ports)
Restoration of LAN switch blades
Server switchover (changing network settings while a server is switched over)
When using end host mode, use the default pin-group and do not create new pin-groups.
Also, disable the Automatic VLAN uplink Synchronization (AVS) setting.
This setting is not necessary, since there are no pin-group or AVS functions for PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8 and PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2.
When using the following LAN switch blades, do not enable classic-view:
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12
LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6
When using Converged Fabric mode of PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2, set the oob IP address or representative virtual IP address of the fabric.
When the switch ID of PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 is something other than 1, port and VLAN information cannot be displayed correctly. Set "1" for the Switch ID.
The stacking function of LAN switch blades is not supported.
However, settings other than VLAN settings should be made directly on the LAN switch blade.
Setting Network Devices Other Than LAN Switch Blades
Refer to the manuals of the network devices to manage with Resource Orchestrator to apply the settings chosen in "7.5 Network Device Management Settings".
Router Settings
For the router connections between different subnets, configure the following router settings.
For managed servers, configure routing to enable communication with the admin LAN IP address of the admin server.
On the admin server, configure the following multicast routing settings for the resources to manage.
225.1.0.1 - 225.1.0.8 |
When using the following functions, configure DHCP relay agents to enable the manager to receive DHCP requests from managed servers belonging to different subnets.
Backup and restoration of managed servers
Collection and deployment of cloning images
SAN boot using HBA address rename
When specifying the IP address of the DHCP server during registration of ISM coordination, it is also necessary to configure DHCP relay agents for the DHCP server.
When using the HBA address rename setup service, configure DHCP relay agents to enable the HBA address rename setup service to receive DHCP requests from managed servers belonging to different subnets.
When setting firewalls, etc. for the router, permit connections for the ports used by Resource Orchestrator.
Refer to "Appendix A Port List", for details on the ports used by Resource Orchestrator.
For information about multicast routing setting and DHCP relay agents, refer to the router manual.
