Protocol node IP further configuration

The mmces commands for adding or moving IPs are as follows.

For more information, see mmces command.

Checking that protocol IPs are currently configured

The mmces address list command shows all the currently configured protocol IPs.
Note: The term CES IP refers to the Cluster Export Services IP, or a protocol IP used specifically for NFS, SMB, and Object protocol access. All CES IPs must have an associated hostname and reverse DNS lookup must be configured for each. For more information, see Adding export IPs in Deploying protocols.
mmces address list
The system displays output similar to the following:Start of change
Address Node Group Attribute
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.0.0.101 prt001st001 none none
10.0.0.102 prt002st001 none none

10.0.0.105 prt005st001 none none

End of change
Additional IPs can be added to a node. In this example, IPs 10.0.0.108 and 10.0.0.109 are added to protocol node 5 (prt005st001). Start of change
mmces address add --ces-node prt005st001 --ces-ip 10.0.0.108,10.0.0.109

End of change
IPs can also be moved among nodes manually. This is helpful if IP allocation becomes unbalanced among the nodes. Continuing from the prior example, prt005st001 now has three protocol IPs whereas all other nodes have a single protocol IP. To balance this out a bit better, 10.0.0.109 will be manually moved to node prt004st001.Start of change
mmces address move –ces-ip 10.0.0.109 --ces-node prt004st001

List all protocol services enabled

Run the following command from any protocol node to list the running services on all protocol nodes:
mmces service list -a
The system displays output similar to the following:
Enabled services: SMB NFS OBJ
prt001st001: SMB is not running, NFS is not running, OBJ is running
prt002st001: SMB is running, NFS is running, OBJ is not running
prt003st001: SMB is running, NFS is running, OBJ is running
