PowerScale OneFS 9.3.0.0 CLI Administration Guide

Modify an internal network netmask

You can modify the subnet mask, or netmask, value for the int-a and int-b internal network interfaces.

If the netmask is too restrictive for the size of the internal network, you must modify the netmask settings. It is recommended that you specify a class C netmask, such as 255.255.255.0, for the internal netmask, that is large enough to accommodate future growth of your PowerScale clusters.

It is recommended that the netmask values you specify for int-a and int-b/failover are the same. If you modify the netmask value of one, modify the other.

NOTE: You must reboot the cluster to apply modifications to the netmask.
  1. Run the isi config command.
    The command-line prompt changes to indicate that you are in the isi config subsystem.
  2. Modify the internal network netmask by running the netmask command.
    The following command changes the int-a internal network netmask:
    netmask int-a 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. Run the commit command to complete the configuration changes and exit isi config.
