Figure A-17. V-Switch 3000 Login Screen
Enter the default user name and password and press Enter on your
keyboard. The CLI prompt > appears. You are now logged in and ready to
begin configuring your V-Switch for volume virtualization and exposure.
STEP 9. NAME V-SWITCH 2
Use the CLI command init to name V-Switch 2. You will need this name
later for exposing volumes.
init –n VSwitch2
STEP 10. C
REATE CLUSTER
You need to enable your two V-Switches to act as one unit to provide V-
Switch failover. To do this, you need to tell each one that the other one
exists. Use the CLI command
neighbor add to tell each V-Switch that
it has a neighbor.
To V-Switch 1, add V-Switch 2 as a neighbor.
neighbor add –nb VSwitch2 –ip 212.199.43.42
To V-Switch 2, add V-Switch 1 as a neighbor.
neighbor add –nb VSwitch1 –ip 212.199.43.41
STEP 11. C
ONFIGURE V-SWITCH 1 NETWORK PORT ETH 1 IP ADDRESSES
Use the CLI command ip config set to configure the network port
Eth 1 for communications between VSwitch1 and the host stations on
VSwitch1. Set the IP address as active (1) to allow read/write commands to
pass through this IP address.
ip config set –if eth1 -ip 212.199.43.56 –im
255.255.255.0 –act 1
