Add a Subnet

You can add one or more subnets using the Draft network configuration profile. The Draft profile is used to validate and activate the configuration changes.
  1. Create a Draft network configuration profile from the Active profile.
    netconfig --create_draft_from active
  2. Create a subnet.
    subnet --add label --subnet_addr network_ipaddr/netmask [--discovery_ipaddr ipaddr] [--type {mgmt | data | mgmt,data}] [--subtype {iscsi|group}] [--netzone_type {evenodd | bisect | single}] [--netconfig name] [--vlanid id] [--mtu mtu] [ --failover {enable|disable}]
  3. (Optional) Repeat Step 2 to add additional subnets.
  4. Validate the Draft network configuration profile.
    netconfig --validate draft
    The array OS validates the configuration. If an error exists, The array OS returns an error message. Resolve all errors before proceeding to the next step.
  5. Activate the Draft network configuration profile.
    netconfig --activate draft
