Configuring storage system communication

Use the Communication tab to configure the network interface used by the storage system to
communicate with other storage systems on the network and to update the list of managers that
the storage system can communicate with.

Selecting the interface used by the LeftHand OS

The LeftHand OS uses one network interface for communication with other storage systems on the
network. In order for clustering to work correctly, the LeftHand OS communication interface must
be designated on each storage system. The interface can be either of the following:

A single NIC that is not part of a bond

A bonded interface consisting of two bonded NICs

NOTE:

Only NICs that are in the Active or Passive (Ready) state can be designated as the

communication interface. You cannot make a disabled NIC the communication interface.

When you initially set up a storage system using the Configuration Interface, the first interface that
you configure becomes the interface used for the LeftHand OS communication. After you configure
a network bond, the bond becomes the communication interface.

In the navigation window, select the storage system and log in.
