But does OneFS 8 support a more "correct" way of doing this? The classic command does not really sound like the right way to go about doing this? One would expect the feature to be removed in a later release?
We have allot of FTP connections in our environment, and when upgrading or failing a node, we need to control the ip allocation manually. If we just move the IP-adresse, all active FTP connections to the pool will fail, as the connections are stateful. We start by suspending the node and drain the active connections. After the drain (1-2 hours), we want to move the allocated IP-adresses to other interfaces, and then back when the service task has been completed.
In OneFS 8.x while you can still use the isi_classic command, it is good to learn the new CLI as in the future those commands will go away. This old command has not been put into the papi as such the engineers did move it out of the isi_classic. Here is the new command,
Old 7.X CLI command: isi networks support sc_put_ip
The command isn't in the guide because it isn't meant for production use. The command was included in the "support" namespace because it is there specifically for testing/support purposes. It was removed because it was not a supported command. The later addition of the command as isi_sc_put_ip was done so that support still had access to it after it was removed from the customer-facing namespace. Running this command for production use is not supported.
