Question about FOM setup

jsellgren — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:36:20 GMT

I currently have a single management group that has two seperate clusters. Each cluster is a member of a different subnet. Ex:

P4000MGMT

Cluster 1 - 192.168.50.x

Cluster 2 - 192.168.51.x

Does the FOM have to have two NICs with each NIC connected to each of the cluster's subnets? Or should one NIC work?

Thank you!

FOM only has to be reachable by all nodes. This can be on a different subnet.

So if I understand you correctly Davy, the FOM does have to have two NICs, one on 192.168.50.x and the other on 192.168.51.x.........correct?

one nic is fine. You just have to make sure the default gateways are correct for all the nodes and you have a route from one subnet to the others. Just like any other IP device.

oikjn,

All the gateways are correct on the nodes and I do have a route setup....that was the answer I was looking for!

Thank you!
