metrocluster configuration-settings interface create

Create a MetroCluster interface

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The metrocluster configuration-settings interface create command configures the network logical interfaces that will be used on a node in a MetroCluster setup to mirror NV logs and access remote storage.

This command is used for MetroCluster setups that are connected though IP links.

The metrocluster configuration-settings commands are run in the following order to set up MetroCluster:

Before running this command , the node’s DR group must be configured using the metrocluster configuration-settings dr-group create command. Run the metrocluster configuration-settings dr-group show command to verify that the node’s DR group has been configured.

Parameters

-cluster-name <Cluster name> - Cluster Name

Use this parameter to specify the name of the local or partner cluster.

-home-node <text> - Home Node

Use this parameter to specify the home node in the cluster which hosts the interface.

-home-port {<netport>|<ifgrp>} - Home Port

Use this parameter to specify the home port provisioned for MetroCluster.

-address <IP Address> - Network Address

Use this parameter to specify the network address to be assigned to the home port.

-netmask <Contiguous IP Mask> - Netmask

Use this parameter to specify the network mask to be assigned to the interface.

[-gateway <IP Address>] - Gateway

Use this parameter to specify the gateway to be assigned for the routed network.

[-vlan-id <integer>] - Virtual LAN ID

Use this parameter to specify the VLAN id.

Examples

This example shows configuring logical interface on MetroCluster IP capable port:
