Step 1
a.
b.
c.
d.
Create an IOA cluster.
Step 2
Step 3
Change the local node to use IPFC interface's IPv4 address.
Step 4
Add the IOA interfaces to the cluster.
Step 5
Add the remote node with IPFC interface IPv4 address.
Step 6
Add the IOA interface of the remote cluster.
Configuring IOA Cluster To Use the IPFC Interface
The process of configuring an IOA cluster to use the IPFC interface involves a number of configuration
tasks that should be completed in the following order:

Creating a VSAN Interface and Configuring IPv4 Addresses
The first step in the process of configuring IOA cluster to use the IPFC interface is to create a VSAN
interface and configure IPv4 addresses.
To create an interface VSAN, perform this task:

Create a VSAN to use for in-band management.
Configure an IPv4 address and subnet mask for the VSAN interface.
Enable IPv4 routing.
Verify connectivity.
