Front-end service network switches of OceanStor 9000

Static front-end service IP address: A fixed IP address configured for the front-end service network port of a node. This IP address is unavailable after node failover. After a node fails, a client cannot access OceanStor 9000 through a static IP address.

Dynamic front-end service IP address: An IP address dynamically allocated to a node by the InfoEqualizer from the manually configured dynamic IP address pool. After a node fails, its dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to another node, and a client can access OceanStor 9000 through this dynamic IP address.

Procedure for adjusting the static front-end IP addresses of an OceanStor 9000's subnet: 1. Log in to DeviceManager. 2. Choose Settings > Cluster Settings > InfoEqualizer > Subnet Management. 3. Change a static front-end service IP address. After a node is migrated to a newly created zone, change the static service IP address of the node to subnet IP address of the zone. a. Choose Settings > Cluster Settings > InfoEqualizer > Node Management. b. In the node list, select a node and click Properties. c. In the Node Attributes dialog box that is displayed, modify the static front-end service IP address to the corresponding subnet IP address of the zone.
