Configure the InfiniBand ports on the ZFS Storage Appliance for IP multipathing. Four IP addresses, on the private storage subnet, are needed for each ZFS Storage Appliance head (therefore, eight addresses total) because the interfaces will run in an active-active configuration.
1. Configure each InfiniBand datalink as its own network interface.
Log on to the BUI of Head 1 and navigate to Configuration > Network.
Click the plus icon next to Interfaces. The Network Interface dialogue box opens.
Complete the dialogue box as follows:
* Enter a meaningful name for the network interface.
* Verify that Enable Interface is checked.
* Verify that Allow Administration is checked.
* Verify that Use IPv4 Protocol is checked.
* Verify that the Configure with menu selection is Static Address List.
* In the box below that, enter 0.0.0.0/8.
* Verify that Use IPv6 Protocol is not checked.
* Select the datalink for ibp0 and click Apply.
Repeat the second and third sub-steps for the remaining datalinks (ibp1, ibp2, and ibp3).
Repeat the first through fourth sub-steps on Head 2.
2. Configure the IPMP interface on Head 1.
Log on to the BUI of Head 1 and navigate to Configuration > Network.
Click the plus icon next to Interfaces. The Network Interface dialogue box opens.
Complete the dialogue box as follows:
* Enter a meaningful name for the IPMP network interface.
* Verify that Enable Interface is checked.
* Verify that Allow Administration is checked.
* Verify that Use IPv4 Protocol is checked.
* Verify that the Configure with menu selection is Static Address List.
* Click the plus sign next to the empty box three times, so that four empty boxes are displayed.
* In each empty box, enter one of the IP addresses reserved for the InfiniBand connections with its respective /24 netmask designation. As a best practice, do not use consecutive IP addresses from the block, but rather every other one (for example, all odd or all even).
* Verify that Use IPv6 Protocol is not checked.
* Check the IP MultiPathing Group box.
* Check the boxes next to the interfaces corresponding to datalinks ibp0 and ibp3.
* Verify that each of the two interfaces are set to Active and click Apply.
From Configuration > Network, click Routing.
Click on the Multihoming model corresponding to Adaptive.
3. Configure the IPMP interface on Head 2.
Log on to the BUI of Head 2 and navigate to Configuration > Network.
Click the plus icon next to Interfaces. The Network Interface dialogue box opens.
Complete the dialogue box as follows:
* Enter a meaningful name for the IPMP network interface.
* Verify that Enable Interface is checked.
* Verify that Allow Administration is checked.
* Verify that Use IPv4 Protocol is checked.
* Verify that the Configure with menu selection is Static Address List.
* Click the plus sign next to the empty box three times, so that four empty boxes are displayed.
* In each empty box, enter one of the remaining four IP addresses reserved for the InfiniBand connections with its respective /24 netmask designation. These should be the ones not used on Head 1.
* Verify that Use IPv6 Protocol is not checked.
* Check the IP MultiPathing Group box.
* Check the boxes next to the interfaces corresponding to datalinks ibp1 and ibp2.
* Verify that each of the two interfaces are set to Active and click Apply.
From Configuration > Network, click Routing.
Click on the Multihoming model corresponding to Adaptive.
4. Verify connectivity with the Oracle SPARC SuperCluster nodes. Verify that each node can ping each of the eight addresses used in the IPMP groups on the ZFS Storage Appliance. Add these IP addresses to the /etc/inet/hosts table of each node.
