Configuring the HVM host using the hpe-vm console
About this task
The hpe-vm console is an utility built by HPE to simplify host management tasks like setting up the timezone, configure the networks and bootstrapping the VM Essentials manager. Use it to configure important settings in the network bond and to configure the iSCSI storage networks, if iSCSI storage is applicable.
Procedure
-
Open the hpe-vm console utility by running:
sudo hpe-vm.
-
Select Configure Network. You are presented with a menu where you can make all the needed network configuration changes without any manual editing using the host's CLI.
-
Adjust bond configuration.
For the active-backup bond to perform interface failover, the mii-monitor-interval needs to be configured as described in this KB article Setting active/backup bond type parameters with the hpe-vm cli tool. You can do this from the hpe-vm console.
-
Navigate to Device Type and select bond.
-
Select your bond.
-
Navigate to the Bond section and select in the parameters option.
-
Enter the following values and then select .
- Mii-monitor-interval: 100
- up delay: 200
- down delay: 200
-
Select to navigate away from the bond menu
-
Select .
-
Select Confirm in the pop-up notification.
-
-
Next, configure the iSCSI interfaces, if applicable.
iSCSI interfaces are just ethernet adapters so you can configure them from the same hpe-vm console.
-
Make sure ethernet is selected under Device type.
-
Select Add.
-
Under Device ID, enter the interface name and select .
NOTE
The interface name can be obtained by running
ip aat the host’s CLI. -
Select on the addresses row to configure the IP Address.
NOTE
iSCSI traffic is not usually routed, you won’t need to configure other network parameters unless your specific network requires it.
Switch ports for iSCSI traffic are usually untagged access ports.
-
Set the MTU to
9000
NOTE
Most iSCSI storage networks use Jumbo Frames for performance, this configuration needs to be consistent across the network.
-
Select and then from the main network configuration menu.
-
Repeat this process for the second interface.
TIP
It is not advised to bond storage interfaces as the storage layer at the host handles multipathing to the storage array.
NOTE
- Do not use the same subnet for both storage interfaces, this might cause storage access problems.
- iSCSI networks should not be routable and do not need a gateway.
