Creating the file storage cluster
Prerequisites
- The storage cluster has at least one disk with the Storage role.
To create the file storage cluster
Admin panel
- On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, make sure that the SMB traffic type is added to the public network you intend to use.
- Open the Storage services > File storage screen, and then click Create file storage.
-
Select one or more nodes to add to the file storage cluster and assign a virtual IP address to each node. The virtual IP address designated for SMB client connections must satisfy the following requirements:
- It must be unique and not already allocated.
- It must reside in the same subnet as the node's IP address.
- It must be reachable by SMB clients.
- Click Create.
Once the file storage is created, you need to join it to the Active Directory domain.
Command-line interface
Use the following command:
vinfra service file-storage cluster create <node>:<address> [<node>:<address> ...]
<node>:<address>
- Node ID or hostname and IP address with netmask, separated by a colon
For example, to create the file storage cluster from node node001
with the virtual IP address 10.10.10.101, run:
# vinfra service file-storage cluster create node001:10.10.10.101
