add network interfaces from cluster nodes

[ninet]

Hello,

We have minimal PVE cluster configuration with following (networking details)

1. cluster master
a) one management NIC - with private IP
b) 3 dedicated NIC`s for virtual machines, 3 vmbr with 3 eth ports

2. cluster node
a) one management NIC - with private IP
b) 3 dedicated NIC`s for virtual machines, we can not see them at the moment

The question is: how we can use those 3 network cards from cluster node? What is recommended case study?

Thank you.

You need to configure the network for each node separately. So simply connect to the node, and configure the network the same way you have done on the master.

Thank you proxmox staffs,

however I can`t say I`m happy with the answers . We have found pretty straightforward (but strange) way how to accomplish this task.

Here are the details:

proxmox1 - vmbr0, vmbr1, vmbr2, vmbr3 (master)
proxmox2 - vmbr0, vmbr11, vmbr12 (node)

each vmbr has associated physical eth (for example vmbr1 -> eth1) on dedicated physical server.

now, the problem still persist whenever we wanna create VM on cluster node, since there is NO option to choose vmbr from cluster node when we are logged in on a master (where is only possible to create new VM). Instead, we are creating VM using any vmbr on the master (vmbr3 in specific case, than loggin on node (proxmox2), then change VM -> hardware -> ethernet devices -> delete and add vmbr (vmbr11 in specific case) as we want to chose.

this works However, this have to be done through master web interface, on the same way how we can choose Cluster Node in VM creation process.

Best regards

Normally one would create all bridges on all nodes (just configure them differently, i.e do not assign a physical network adapter).
