Note: On
The following LAN requirements must be met before installing StorNext on the MDC:
•In cases where gigabit networking hardware is used and maximum StorNext performance is required, a separate, dedicated switched Ethernet LAN is recommended for the StorNext metadata network. If maximum StorNext performance is not required, shared gigabit networking is acceptable.
•A separate, dedicated switched Ethernet LAN is mandatory for the metadata network if 100 Mbit/s or slower networking hardware is used.
•The MDC and all clients must have static IP addresses.
Verify network connectivity with pings, and also verify entries in the
/etc/hosts file.
