See figure 2 below for examples of supported standalone gateway configurations with one or two

arrays showing correct cabling before secondary gateway is added

This first VMA SAN Gateway will be initially configured as ‘master/stand-alone’ and will become the

‘primary’ gateway of the redundant gateway pair when the redundant gateway deployment process

is completed. For initial network configuration of the primary gateway of a redundant pair use the

VMA SAN Gateway configuration wizard or the ‘configuration jump-start’ command to set the

following settings appropriately for your network environment:

• “Configure as master/stand-alone” – leave set to default value of “yes”

• “Public interface name” – leave set to default value of “eth1”

• “Public interface IP address” – set to the IP address that will be used for management of this

primary gateway

• “Public interface netmask” – set the appropriate netmask for the above Public IP address

• “Global default gateway” – set the default gateway IP for the Public IP address

• “DNS server names(s)” – set appropriate DNS name server(s)

• “Domain name” – set the site domain name to be used

• “Cluster name” – set to a management cluster name for the paired gateways

• “Set clock timezone” – set appropriate timezone and optionally NTP server name(s)

Leave the following configuration wizard settings at their default values:

• “Cluster interface name” – default is “eth1”

• “Cluster expected nodes” – default is “1”

• “Cluster id” – default is pre-set with the VMA SAN Gateway

• “Cluster management IP address” – leave at default value of “0.0.0.0”

• “Cluster management IP netmask” – leave at default value of “0.0.0.0”

When configuring this first ‘primary’ gateway, you must initialize all VMA Array media by creating

containers on the connected VMA Arrays using the gateway CLI ‘media init’ command. The gateway

media init command will format the container layout required on the VMA Arrays for use with

redundant gateways. Also connect, configure and verify the Fibre Channel connections as according

to the ‘HP VMA-series SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide’

NOTE: if the connected VMA Arrays have not been initialized with the ‘media init’ command, the FC

target ports may not login to the SAN Fabric.

WARNING: It is important that during deployment and configuration of this first ‘primary’ gateway

that the secondary gateway is not connected to the LAN or the VMA Arrays. The ‘secondary’

gateway will be setup and introduced to the configuration later in the pairing process.

Once you have the first VMA SAN Gateway configured as a standalone gateway and the VMA

Arrays, up to two arrays maximum, connected to the gateway and media containers initialized, that

completes the required preparation steps for this deployment scenario. Please go to the next major

step, ‘Update the Primary/Master VMA SAN Gateway’ below to continue with the pairing process.

Adding a new gateway to create a redundant gateway pair

This is the simplest beginning scenario. In this scenario, you want to pair a new gateway (no existing

configuration on the gateway) to an existing configured standalone gateway with connected VMA

arrays to create a redundant gateway pair.
