Backplane on LA channel

• NS0 - nodeId: 0, NSIP: 10.102.29.60
• NS1 - nodeId: 1, NSIP: 10.102.29.70
• NS2 - nodeId: 2, NSIP: 10.102.29.80

To deploy a cluster with the backplane interfaces as LA channels

1. Create a cluster of nodes NS0, NS1, and NS2.
   1. Log on to the first node that you want to add to the cluster and do the following:
      > create cluster instance 1
> add cluster node 0 10.102.29.60 -state ACTIVE
> enable cluster instance 1
> add ns ip 10.102.29.61 255.255.255.255 -type CLIP
> save ns config
> reboot -warm
   2. Log on to the cluster IP address and do the following:
      > add cluster node 1 10.102.29.70 -state ACTIVE
> add cluster node 2 10.102.29.80 -state ACTIVE
   3. Log on to the nodes 10.102.29.70 and 10.102.29.80 to join the nodes to the cluster.
      > join cluster -clip 10.102.29.61 -password nsroot
> save ns config
> reboot -warm
   As seen in the preceding commands, the interfaces 0/1/1, 1/1/1, and 2/1/1 are configured as the backplane interfaces of the three cluster nodes.
2. Log on to the cluster IP address and do the following:
   1. Create the LA channels for nodes NS0 and NS1.
      > add channel 0/LA/1 -ifnum 0/1/1 0/1/2
> add channel 1/LA/2 -ifnum 1/1/1 1/1/2
   2. Configure the backplane for the cluster nodes.
      > set cluster node 0 -backplane 0/LA/1
> set cluster node 1 -backplane 1/LA/2
> set cluster node 2 -backplane 2/1/1
