Configuring the domain 83
Creating a domain
You can create a domain in two ways:
•“Manually creating a domain” (page 83)
•“Using the Nortel SNAS domain quick setup wizard in the CLI” (page
84)
Manually creating a domain
To create and configure a domain manually, use the following command:
/cfg/domain <domain ID>
where
domain ID is an integer in the range 1 to 256 that
uniquely identifies the domain in the Nortel
SNAS cluster.
When you first create the domain, you are prompted to enter the following
parameters:
•domain name—a string that identifies the domain on the Nortel
SNAS, as a mnemonic aid. The maximum length of the string is 255
characters.
•portal Virtual IP address (pVIP)—the IP address of the Nortel SNAS
portal. You can have more than one pVIP for a domain. To specify
more than one pVIP, use a comma separator. The pVIP is the address
to which the client connects for authentication and host integrity check.
For more information, see “About the IP addresses” (page 42).
The Domain menu appears.
Figure 4 "Creating a domain" (page 84) shows sample output for the
/cfg/domain <domain ID> command and commands on the Domain
menu. For more information about the Domain menu commands, see
“Configuring domain parameters” (page 89).
