Create a new IPspace

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

IPspaces are distinct IP address spaces in which Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) reside. The "Cluster" IPspace and "Default" IPspace are created by default. You can create more custom IPspaces when you need your SVMs to have overlapping IP addresses, or you need more control over networking configurations for cluster peering. Please reference the "Network Management Guide" for the limit of how many custom IPspaces are supported on your system..
