6 Create the /u01 directory in root directory and mount the file system to

the

/u01 directory. For example, run the following command:

mkdir /u01
mount /dev/sdb1 /u01

7 To keep the mount path persistent across reboot, add the mount path to

/etc/fstab. For example, run the following command:
vi /etc/fstab
Table 5-2 lists the options that must be selected to create a mount path.

Reinstalling the DX Cluster Services Node

Software

Setting Up and Configuring the Network

The DX Cluster Services Node software requires access to both the external

network and to a dedicated internal network. The internal private network

ensures that the DX Storage Cluster traffic is protected from unauthorized

access and that the external network is isolated from both the PXE boot

server and cluster multicast traffic. The DX Cluster Services Node software

automatically allocates the first half of the Ethernet ports detected on each

NIC interface card to the external network and the second half of the

Ethernet ports detected on each NIC interface card to the internal network.

All NICs allocated to a network are bonded into a bond interface using

mode 6 or balance alb bonding. For example, on a server with four LOM ports

and a quad port NIC adapter, LOM ports 0-1 and NIC adapter ports 0-1 are

allocated to the external network in a balance-alb bond interface and LOM

ports 2-3 and NIC adapter ports 2-3 are allocated to the internal network in a

balance-alb bond interface.
