Configuring the Network

Setup up a network by assigning static IP addresses to the interfaces in the nodes.

Procedure

1. Login to a node using the following credentials:

   Login: root

   Password: cvadmin

   Note

   This password can be changed during setup.

2. Navigate to the following folder:

   /opt/commvault/MediaAgent

3. Execute the following command to generate an input configuration file for the data protection network:

   ./cvconfignw.py -g <output configuration file path for data protection network>

4. Edit the configuration file to add the device name, IP address, gateway and name server details.

   [network]
   device =
   ipaddr =
   gateway =
   nameserver1 =
   nameserver2 =
   netmask =

   For example, the entries in this file should be similar to the following:

   [network]
   device =enpsf3
   ipaddr =10.1.5.21
   gateway =10.1.5.1
   nameserver1 =10.10.1.199
   nameserver2 =100.10.1.200
   nameserver3 =
   netmask =255.255.255.0

5. Execute the following command to generate an input configuration file for the Storage Pool network:

   ./cvconfignw.py -g <output configuration file path for storage pool network>

6. Edit the configuration file to add the device name and IP address.

   Note

   The entries for the gateway and nameservers should be left blank for the Storage Pool network.

   For example, the entries in this file should be similar to the following:

   [network]
   device =enpsf4
   ipaddr =102.11.11.71
   gateway =
   nameserver1 =
   nameserver2 =
   netmask =255.255.255.0

7. Execute the following command to apply the settings for the Data Protection network:

   ./cvconfignw.py -c <config file path>

   Repeat the step to apply the settings for the Storage Pool Network.

8. Repeat these steps in the other nodes.
