Setting up networks for file storage

Prerequisites

To create the network configuration for file storage

Admin panel

  1. Add the SMB traffic type to your public network:

    1. On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, click Assign to network in the Exclusive traffic types section.
    2. Add the SMB traffic type to your network by selecting the corresponding radio button.
    3. Click Save to apply the changes.
  2. If you plan to use RDMA over InfiniBand, move the traffic type Storage to a dedicated network and assign that network to the IB interface.
  3. Configure network interfaces on the nodes that you plan to join the file storage cluster.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra cluster network set-bulk --network <network>:<traffic-types>
--network <network>:<traffic-types>

Network configuration in the format:

  • <network>: network ID or name.
  • <traffic-types>: a comma-separated list of traffic type names

This option can be used multiple times.

For example, to set the SMB traffic type to the Public network, run:

# vinfra cluster network set-bulk --network Public:"Admin panel","SMB","iSCSI","NFS","S3 public",\
"Backup (ABGW) public","SSH"

Review your network configuration by using the following command:

# vinfra cluster network list -c id -c name -c traffic_types
