Excluding PCI IDs from the cluster
During the initial Veritas Access software installation on the first node, you can exclude certain PCI IDs in your cluster to reserve them for future use. You may want to exclude additional PCD IDs when you add additional nodes to the cluster. You can add the PCI IDs to the exclusion list. The interface cards for which PCI ID's have been added in the PCI exclusion list are not used as private or public interfaces for the subsequent cluster node install. During a new node install, the remaining PCI bus interfaces are searched and added as public or private interfaces.
The Network> pciexclusion command can be used with different options:
The Network> pciexclusion show command displays the PCI IDs that have been selected for exclusion. It also provides information about whether it has been excluded or not by displaying y(yes) or n(no) symbols corresponding to the node name. If the node is in the INSTALLED state, it displays the UUID of the node.
The Network> pciexclusion add pcilist command allows an administrator to add specific PCI ID(s) for exclusion. These values must be provided before the installation. The command excludes the PCI from the second node installation.
pcilist is a comma-separated list of PCI IDs.
The Network> pciexclusion delete pci command allows an administrator to delete a given PCI ID from exclusion. This command must be used before the installation for it to take effect. The command is effective for the next node install
The PCI ID bits format is hexadecimal (XXXX:XX:XX.X).
