Planning of IP addresses on OceanStor 9000 10GE network

OceanStor 9000 V100R001C01 supports the following typical networking plans: 1. 10GE front-end and 10GE back-end 2. 10GE front-end and GE back-end 3. InfiniBand front-end and InfiniBand back-end 4. 10GE front-end and InfiniBand back-end In the preceding four networking scenarios, the networking tool automatically generates a network plan, hardware connection diagram, and connection table.

Huawei Storage Networking Assistant is a webpage-based tool, providing networking diagrams of different CONFIGUREs. You only enter the network CONFIGURE information based on your requirements to QUICK obtain the desired networking diagram and connect cables without the need to remember complicated networking plans and rules. Click Huawei Storage Networking Assistant to obtain the tool.

Management ports in OceanStor 9000 V100R001C01 include NIC0 and IPMI ports. NIC0 ports are used for logging in to system management software, as well as configuring, maintaining, and monitoring the system. IPMI ports on each node are used for hardware system management, including viewing hardware component status and remotely powering on or off nodes. The entire system uses only NIC0 ports on the first three nodes, and one floating management IP address (floating on the NIC0 ports on the three nodes) is planned. An IP address is separately planned for the IPMI port on each node.

Before software installation of OceanStor 9000 V100R001C01, independent network segments are planned, including the front-end service network segment, back-end storage network segment, and management network segment. For details, see OceanStor 9000 V100R001C01 Software Installation Guide 12 .
