Create File Mobility in PowerStore Manager
File Mobility runs over the Management network. It is not necessary to configure File Mobility on the switch. File Mobility is required to be configured in PowerStore Manager.
The PowerStore T model appliance was deployed in Unified mode.
Three IP addresses are required for File Mobility.
| IP Address per | Assigned to | Number of IP Addresses required |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance | Node A | 1 |
| Node B | 1 | |
| Cluster | Cluster | 1 |
- From PowerStore Manager, go to the tab and click Create.
- Enter the resources that are reserved for the File Mobility network into the Create File Mobility Network page and click Create.
-
Map the File Mobility network to the first Management port on Node A (BaseEnclosure-NodeA-EmbeddedModule-MgmtPort).
The File Mobility network is automatically mapped to Node B.NOTE:Reconfiguring the File Mobility interface can be disruptive. Before reconfiguring the File Mobility interface:
- Verify with the network administrator that the configuration information is accurate.
- Ensure that there are no active file migrations or file replication sessions.
