Chapter 4: Configure the Secondary Gateway
Topics:
Validate the Secondary Gateway
Validate Secondary Gateway Hardware Configuration
Connect Secondary Gateway to SAN and Ethernet Switches
Configure the Secondary VMA SAN Gateway
Update the Secondary Gateway Software
Configure Ethernet Port Bonding on Secondary Gateway
Configure Inter-Gateway VLAN on Secondary Gateway
Join Secondary Gateway to Primary Gateway and Import Configuration
Verify VMA SAN Gateways have established Redundant Pair
Shutdown Secondary VMA SAN Gateway
For this portion of the redundant pairing process, the ‘secondary’ VMA SAN Gateway will be
configured and the software OE updated. The ‘secondary’ gateway should still be shutdown with
power disconnected at this time.
IMPORTANT: the ‘primary’ gateway must remain up and running during the ‘secondary’ gateway
configuration and pairing process as it contains the vSHARE configuration that will be replicated to
the secondary gateway being added into the redundant gateway pair. If both gateways were
powered down and brought back up, the ‘primary’ gateway could possibly take on the empty
configuration of the new gateway and the desired configuration (port presentations, LUN
configuration, etc.) would be lost.
Validate Secondary Gateway Hardware Configuration
Review the hardware configuration of the ‘secondary’ gateway to ensure that it has the same
number of FC HBAs and PCIe Pass-Thru cards and that each is in the same identical I/O slot as on
the ‘primary’ gateway. Install any PCIe Pass-Thru cards and move any I/O cards as required to be
identical. This will be important for the actual connection and discovery of the paired gateway and
export of LUN access.
Connect Secondary Gateway to SAN and Ethernet Switches
Perform steps in this section with the ‘secondary’ gateway still shutdown.
Connect the ‘eth1’ and ‘eth2’ Ethernet ports of the ‘secondary’ VMA SAN Gateway to the
appropriate Ethernet switch ports as defined previously.
Make appropriate Fibre Channel connections from the ‘secondary’ gateway FC target ports to the FC
SAN Switches using appropriate FC cables.
Do not connect the VMA Arrays to the ‘secondary’ gateway at this time.
Connect the ‘secondary’ gateway power cords to the planned power source.
