Configure and enable internal network failover

You can configure the int-b internal interfaces to provide backup in the event of an int-a network failure.

Failover configuration involves enabling the int-b interface, specifying a valid netmask, and adding IP address ranges for the int-b interface and the failover network. By default, the int-b interface and failover network are disabled.
NOTE You must reboot the cluster to apply modifications to internal network failover.
  1. Run the isi config command.
    The command-line prompt changes to indicate that you are in the isi config subsystem.
  2. Set a netmask for the second interface by running the netmask command.
    The following command changes the int-b internal network netmask:
    netmask int-b 255.255.255.0
    The system displays output similar to the following example:
    !! WARNING: The new netmask will not take effect until the nodes are rebooted.
  3. Set an IP address range for the second interface by running the iprange command.
    The following command adds an IP range to the int-b internal network:
    iprange int-b 192.168.206.21-192.168.206.30
  4. Set an IP address range for the failover interface by running the iprange command.
    The following command adds an IP range to the internal failover network:
    iprange failover 192.168.206.31-192.168.206.40
  5. Enable a second interface by running the interface command.
    The following command specifies the interface name as int-b and enables it:
    interface int-b enable
  6. Run the commit command to complete the configuration changes and exit isi config.
  7. Restart the cluster to apply netmask modifications.
