When you select an interface from the list of available
interfaces on the Networks page, you can manage
and edit the properties of that interface.
To view or edit properties for an interface, select a task from
the Actions menu.
Tasks
- Remove
- Removes the selected interface from the network.
- Move IP Addresses Alias Between Interfaces
- Use this task to move service or persistent IP addresses from
one interface to another when an adapter is being replaced.
- Node name
- Displays the name of the node for which the interface is associated.
This field cannot be edited.
- Current® Interface
- Displays the interface for which the IP addresses is currently
bound. This field cannot be edited.
- Destination Interface
- Choose the interface to which the IP address will be moving from
the list of interfaces within the same network as the original interface.
- Persistent/Service IP labels/address
- Choose one or more IP labels/addresses from a list of persistent
and service IP labels/addresses owned by the destination interface.
- Properties
- Use the Properties page to view properties
of the selected interface. Interface properties cannot be edited.
- Node:
- The node of the cluster on which the interface resides.
- Boot IP Address:
- The Boot IP address for the selected network is the highest priority
node in the resource group for a cluster and must be the node that
contains the boot IP address or label. Select the boot IP address
so that it is on the same subnet as the service IP address to be used
in the resource group. All other network interfaces on the highest
priority node must be placed on subnets that are different from those
used by the boot or service IP addresses.
- Boot IP Label:
- The boot IP label or IP address is the initial IP label or IP
address that is used at boot time. The term “boot” is used in this
section to explain the PowerHA® SystemMirror requirements
for subnets on which different IP labels (boot and service) are configured.
- Network:
- Network name is a symbolic value that identifies a network in
an PowerHA SystemMirror environment.
Cluster processes use this information to determine which interfaces
are connected to the same physical network. Use any naming convention
you prefer, but be consistent. If two interfaces share the same physical
network, make sure that you use the same network name when defining
these interfaces.
