AM456-9025A HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide 37
Gateway Management Network Configuration
You must configure network switches and network connections for the cluster nodes, so that the
master and secondary nodes in a management group can communicate with each other.
Configuring Network Switches
Setting up and defining the network switches for the HP VMA SAN Gateway management group
includes the following tasks:
• Defining Initial IP Addressing on page 35
• Defining Additional Parameters on page 36
• Defining Cluster Name and Node Names on page 36
Before you Begin
Gather the following information for each node in a HP VMA SAN Gateway cluster:
• IP addresses
• Public interface IP address
• Netmask
• Cluster management virtual IP (VIP) address
• HP VMA-series Array IP address
Defining Initial IP Addressing
The following IP address assignments must be performed via serial console or direct connected to
the network switches of the HP VMA SAN Gateway:
• Public Interface Name and IP Address: For each node, define the public interface name, IP
address, and an associated netmask for the system’s private address requirements. (DHCP can
be used for these addresses; however, most installations use static IP addresses.)
• Cluster Management VIP: Define the cluster management virtual IP address. The cluster
management VIP directs all cluster management traffic to the public interface on the master
node.
• HP VMA-series Array IP Address: Define the Memory Array network management IP
address.
