LAG Configurations for AIO Duplex Systems
-----------------------------------------
For a duplex-direct system set-up, use a |LAG| mode with active-backup for the
management interface when attaching cables between the active and standby
controller nodes. When both interfaces are enabled, the system automatically
selects the primary interface within the |LAG| with the lowest |MAC| address on
the active controller to connect to the primary interface within the |LAG| with
the lowest |MAC| address on the standby controller.
The controllers act independently of each other when selecting the primary
interface. Therefore, it is critical that the inter-node cabling is completed
to ensure that both nodes select a primary interface that is attached to the
primary interface of the opposite node. The inter-node management cabling
attachments must be from the lowest |MAC| address to the lowest |MAC| address
for the first cable, and the next lowest |MAC| address to the next lowest |MAC|
address for the second cable. Failure to follow these cabling requirements
will result in a loss of communication between the two nodes.
In addition to the special cabling requirements, the node BIOS settings may
need to be configured to ensure that the node attempts to network boot from
the lowest |MAC| address interface within the |LAG|. This may be required only on
systems that enable all hardware interfaces during network booting rather than
only enabling the interface that is currently selected for booting.
Configure the cables associated with the management |LAG| so that the primary
interface within the |LAG| with the lowest |MAC| address on the active
controller connects to the primary interface within the |LAG| with the lowest
|MAC| address on standby controller.
