Update subnets for Grid Network
Suggest changes
PDFs
StorageGRID maintains a list of the network subnets used to communicate between grid nodes on the Grid Network (eth0). These entries include the subnets used for the Grid Network by each site in your StorageGRID system as well as any subnets used for NTP, DNS, LDAP, or other external servers accessed through the Grid Network gateway. When you add grid nodes or a new site in an expansion, you might need to update or add subnets to the Grid Network.

You are signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported web browser.
-
You have the Maintenance or Root access permission.
-
You have the provisioning passphrase.
-
You have the network addresses, in CIDR notation, of the subnets you want to configure.
If you are performing an expansion activity that includes adding a new subnet, you must add a new subnet to the Grid Network subnet list before you start the expansion procedure. Otherwise, you will have to cancel the expansion, add the new subnet, and start the expansion again.
