Before providing NFS storage to clients, you must verify that networking is correctly configured to meet the NFS provisioning requirements. |
Before providing NFS storage to clients, you must verify that networking is correctly configured to meet the NFS provisioning requirements.
The following cluster networking objects must be configured:
-
Physical and logical ports
-
Broadcast domains
-
Subnets (if required)
-
IPspaces (as required, in addition to the default IPspace)
-
Failover groups (as required, in addition to the default failover group for each broadcast domain)
-
External firewalls
-
Display the available physical and virtual ports:
network port show
-
When possible, you should use the port with the highest speed for the data network.
-
All components in the data network must have the same MTU setting for best performance.
-
-
If you are planning to use a subnet name to allocate the IP address and network mask value for a LIF, verify that the subnet exists and has sufficient addresses available:
network subnet show
Subnets contain a pool of IP addresses that belong to the same layer 3 subnet. Subnets are created by using the
network subnet create
command. -
Display available IPspaces:
network ipspace show
You can use the default IPspace or a custom IPspace.
-
If you want to use IPv6 addresses, verify that IPv6 is enabled on the cluster:
network options ipv6 show
If required, you can enable IPv6 by using the
network options ipv6 modify
command.
