Assigning a Static IP If DHCP is Disabled

Assign a static IP address to the interfaces, if DHCP is not enabled.

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:

   ./cvconfignw.py genconfig or -g $[output configuration file path]
   

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

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

   Where:

   device is the network interface name, surrounded by parenthesis ( ).

   For example:

   The entries in this file should be similar to the following:

   [network]
   device =$[enpsf3]
   ipaddr =$[101.102.103.104]
   gateway =$[101.100.100.100]
   nameserver1 =$[103.99.99.1]
   nameserver2 =$[104.99.99.2]
   netmask =$[100.100.100.1]
   device =$[enpsf5]
   ipaddr =$[20.20.226.297]
   gateway =$[101.100.100.100]
   nameserver1 =$[103.99.99.1]
   nameserver2 =$[104.99.99.2]
   netmask =100.100.100.1
   

   Note

   You would have to repeat the entries to define the data protection and storage pool networks.

5. Execute the following command to apply the settings:

   ./cvconfignw.py configure or -c $[config file path]
   

6. Repeat these steps in the other nodes.

What to Do Next

• Setup a block consisting of 3 nodes to ensure that the correct nodes are identified and configured when the setup is run. For more information, see Setting up a Block.
