[gpfsug-discuss] Seeking cNFS/GPFS advice. Add two IPs to cNFS pool

[Ward, Michael]

Hello, I am relatively new to GPFS/cNFS.  I have contacted reps and IBM and DDN (our vendor) w/no concrete answers.

We have two servers
 linux server gpfs0 infiniband IP addr 10.0.136.84
 linux server gpfs1 infiniband IP addr 10.0.136.85
 
 gpfs0 server already has cnfs node name gpfs0-adm
 gpfs1 server already has cnfs node name gpfs1-adm

We want to bind 10.0.136.86, 10.0.136.87 to these nodes to extend the cnfs pool.
Below are the commands I think will work

mmchnode --cnfs-interface= 10.0.136.86 -N  gpfs0-adm  

mmchnode --cnfs-interface= 10.0.136.87 -N  gpfs1-adm  



Below are some information about the current setup for Ethernet.
