However, you can detach and attach a single NAS controller to a NAS cluster if you need to replace a NAS controller. NOTE: The first time you configure a NAS cluster, you are asked to accept an End-User License Agreement (EULA). You cannot configure the NAS cluster unless you accept the EULA. Prerequisites Before you configure a NAS cluster: • Satisfy network requirements: - Enable jumbo frames on the switch ports used for the internal and SAN networks. - Enable flow control on the same ports. • Verify that a storage pool in the PS Series group has sufficient space to store the NAS reserve and client data. The NAS reserve contains NAS client data available for use by NAS containers, and internal capacity reserved for system use. After you configure the NAS cluster, you can increase the size of the NAS reserve as needed. NOTE: You cannot decrease the size of the NAS reserve. • Verify that you have the following information: - Name to assign to this NAS cluster - Client network information - SAN network information - Password for the grpadmin account Enter your NAS cluster settings in Table 42.
