Changing or Setting a Virtual IP
A virtual IP is a single IP address that two system controllers can share. This is helpful in systems
using a primary system controller and a secondary system controller, for redundancy. The active
system controller is always assigned the virtual IP. This means that should one of the system con-
trollers becomes inactive (e.g., power failure), the other system controller already has an IP address
assigned that is currently connected to NV9000-SE. There is no disruption in communication
between the system controller and NV9000-SE.
This function is only available when a redundant system controller is present.
To remove a virtual IP, simply change the IP address assigned to the system controllers. (See
Changing System Controller IP Address or Name on page 39.)
How to Change or Set a Virtual IP
1 Launch NV9000-SE. (See Launching and Exiting the Application on page 12.)
2 From the Navigation area, select the ‘System Management’ pane.
3 Select a system controller and right-click to display a pop-up menu.
4 Select ‘Set/Change Virtual IP’ and enter the IP address you want to use as the virtual IP address
to be shared by the primary and secondary system controller.
