Editing a VIP Using the Control System

  1. Log in to the Control System and go to the service information page for NFS.
  2. Click the VIP Range to modify.
    The Edit Virtual IP page displays.
  3. Modify changes to one or more of the following as needed.
    Preferred MAC Address The preferred MAC for this virtual IP. When an NFS server restarts, the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric system attempts to move all of the virtual IP addresses that list a MAC address on this node as a preferred MAC to this node. If the new value is null, this field resets the preferred MAC value.
    Select network interfaces The list of MAC addresses that represent the NICs on the nodes to which the VIPs in the VIP range can be associated. Use this list to limit VIP assignment to NICs on a particular subnet when your NFS server is part of multiple subnets.
  4. Click Save Changes for the changes to take effect.
