FlexPod Implementation and Design
Figure 22
Nodes 1 and 2 form a two-node storage failover pair through the HA interconnect direct connection. The
FlexPod design uses the following port and interface assignments:
Port 3a and 4a on each node support FCoE data traffic that is accessible through an FC LIF assigned
•
to SAN A or B (red or blue fabric).
Ethernet ports e3a and e4a on each node are members of a multimode LACP interface group for
•
Ethernet data. This interface group has a LIF associated with it to support NFS traffic.
Ports e0M are on each node and support a LIF dedicated to node management. Port e0b is defined
•
as a failover port supporting the "node_mgmt" role.
Ports e0a supports cluster management data traffic through the cluster management LIF. This port
•
and LIF allow for administration of the cluster from the failover port and LIF if necessary.
