Configure replication networks

Replication networks flex-rep1 and flex-rep2 must be added to each node at all participating sites.

Prerequisites

Verify what MTU size will be used for the replication networks.

Steps

  1. SSH to the PowerFlex storage-only node and type cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
  2. Use vi to create network bonds.
    Use the following examples to create the replication network bonds.
    Example for flex-rep1 161: vi ifcfg-bond0.161 
    BOOTPROTO=none 
ONBOOT=yes 
HOTPLUG=yes
TYPE=Bond 
VLAN=yes 
DEVICE=bond0.161
IPADDR=172.16.1.10 
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 
GATEWAY=172.16.1.1 
MTU=1500
BONDING_OPTS=“miimon=100 mode=802.3ad xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4 lacp_rate=fast” 
PEERDNS=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
    Example for flex-rep2 162: vi ifcfg-bond1.162 
    BOOTPROTO=none 
ONBOOT=yes 
HOTPLUG=yes
TYPE=Bond 
VLAN=yes 
DEVICE=bond1.162
IPADDR=172.16.2.10 
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 
GATEWAY=172.16.2.1 
MTU=1500
BONDING_OPTS=“miimon=100 mode=802.3ad xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4 lacp_rate=fast” 
PEERDNS=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
