SANRAD V-Switch manual Init -n VSwitch2, Neighbor add -nb VSwitch1 -ip, 276

keyboard. The CLI prompt > appears. You are now logged in and ready to begin configuring your V-Switch for volume virtualization and exposure.

STEP 9. NAME V-SWITCH 2

Use the CLI command init to name V-Switch 2. You will need this name later for exposing volumes.

init –n VSwitch2

The port number you set in the CLI must coincide with the port number you set in your iSCSI initiator configuration.

STEP 10. CREATE CLUSTER

You need to enable your two V-Switches to act as one unit to provide V-Switch failover. To do this, you need to tell each one that the other one exists. Use the CLI command neighbor add to tell each V-Switch that it has a

neighbor.

To V-Switch 1, add V-Switch 2 as a neighbor.

neighbor add –nb VSwitch2 –ip 212.199.43.42

To V-Switch 2, add V-Switch 1 as a neighbor.

neighbor add –nb VSwitch1 –ip 212.199.43.41

STEP 11. CONFIGURE V-SWITCH 1 NETWORK PORT ETH 1 IP ADDRESSES

Use the CLI command ip config set to configure the network port Eth 1

for communications between VSwitch1 and the host stations on VSwitch1. Set the IP address as active (1) to allow read/write commands to pass through this IP address.

ip config set –if eth1 -ip 212.199.43.56 –im 255.255.255.0 –act 1

Now, use the CLI command ip config set to configure the IP takeover

address for Eth 1. This IP address will be the IP address of Eth 1 on VSwitch2. The address will sit inactive (2) unless VSwitch2 goes offline. Then VSwitch1 will activate (1) this address and direct all read/write commands to this address through Eth1 on VSwitch1.

ip config set –if eth1 -ip 212.199.43.75 –im 255.255.255.0 –act 2

STEP 12. CONFIGURE V-SWITCH 1 ISCSI PORTALS

Use the CLI command iscsi portal create to configure the iSCSI

portal on network port Eth 2 for iSCSI communications between VSwitch1 and the host stations.

iscsi portal create –ip 212.199.43.56 –p 5003
