File import interface is configured to support VDM or NAS server imports and must be created after adding a remote system and discovering its importable objects.
NOTE:This procedure describes adding a file import interface by using the
File Import Interface tab on the
Import External Storage page in
PowerStore Manager. The file import interface can be added later as part of the configuration of a NAS server import.
Ensure the following:
The interface port is cabled and connected to a network switch.
Both Node A and Node B are in a healthy state.
NOTE:For Unity, ensure that I/O clients are not connected to the production interface that is used as the File-Import-Interface connection of the destination system.
Obtain the following information for each Node:
IP address associated with the file import interface. You can specify an IPv4 or IPv6-based address, but ensure that you specify the same type of address for both nodes.
IP address mask or prefix length that identifies the associated subnet.
Gateway IP address associated with the interface.
If applicable, the VLAN ID (between 1 and 4095) you want to associate the interface with.
NOTE:For the network to continue functioning properly, only set the VLAN ID after configuring the network switch port to support VLAN tagging of multiple VLAN IDs. Ensure that the VLAN ID of the interface is different than the VLAN ID of the management, storage, and NAS servers.
Steps
In
PowerStore Manager, under
Migration select
Import External Storage.
Perform one of the following actions:
To create an interface, select
+Add. On the
Add File Import Interface slide out panel, specify the relevant information.
To modify an interface, select the interface and then select
Modify. On the
Modify File Import Interface slide out panel, specify the relevant information.
To delete an interface, select the interface and then select
Delete.
NOTE:Before you delete a file import interface, ensure that an import session is not using the interface. If an import session is not using the interface, select
Delete in the
Delete File Import Interface dialog box.
