CLI Procedures
Installing a FluidFS Cluster Using the CLI
Use this procedure to install a FluidFS cluster using the CLI. The recommended way to deploy a FluidFS
cluster is to use the FluidFS NAS Manager WebUI. This procedure should be performed only by Dell
Technical Support Services.
1. Log on to the CLI on NAS controller 0 (located on the left as viewed from the back) using a VGA
console as described in Accessing the CLI.
2. Configure the client VIPs (PrivateIPs) and an IP address for each NAS controller (PublicIPs). Dell
recommends adding at least one client VIP per NAS controller.
networking subnets add <netmask> -PrivateIPs <x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x> -PublicIPs
<x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x>
For example:
networking subnets add 255.255.252.0 -PrivateIPs 10.10.77.111,10.10.77.112 -
PublicIPs 10.10.77.113,10.10.77.114,10.10.77.115,10.10.77.116
3. Add the default gateway.
networking default-gateway add <x.x.x.x>
For example:
networking default-gateway add 10.10.77.118
4. (Optional) If you want to complete the installation remotely, log out of the CLI from the VGA console
and log back on to the CLI using SSH as described in Accessing the CLI. Otherwise, you can continue
the installation from the VGA console.
5. Set the FluidFS cluster name.
system internal cluster-name set <ClusterName>
For example:
system internal cluster-name set ia-Dev1
6. Set the internal address range.
system internal internal-network edit <x.x.x.x>
For example:
system internal internal-network edit 10.255.254.0
7. Create the FluidFS cluster.
hardware NAS-appliances create-cluster -CurrentApplianceServiceTag
<ServiceTag>
For example:
hardware NAS-appliances create-cluster -CurrentApplianceServiceTag L846185
