When you create a shared file system, you specify IP addresses on which the metadata and potential metadata servers will accept connections. This page enables you to specify which of these Internet Protocol (IP) addresses each host in the shared file system should use to communicate with the metadata and potential metadata servers. This feature is useful if your site’s configuration includes participating hosts on more than one network. For example, you can configure clients to communicate with potential metadata servers on one network and with the actual metadata servers on a different network.
The columns on the page show each metadata server or potential metadata server in the shared file system. The rows on the page list each host in the shared file system. The values in each row show which IP addresses each host should use to communicate with the metadata servers and potential metadata servers.
To specify interfaces for the hosts:
Select the radio button next to the host and click Modify Settings.
The Select IP Addresses table is displayed.
From the drop-down menus, select the Primary IP and Secondary IP addresses that the host should use to communicate with each metadata server or potential metadata server.
Click Modify Settings.
