CAUTION: Make sure that the DNS IP address is accessible from the network to which
EVO:RAIL is connected and functioning properly. If the DNS server requires access through a
gateway, the gateway must be EVO:RAIL, do not type a DNS IP address. To add a DNS server
after you have configured EVO:RAIL, see the VMware Knowledge Base 2107249 .

• Proxy Server
A proxy server is optional in EVO:RAIL. If you have a proxy server on your network, and if vCenter
Server has to access services outside of your network, you must provide the hostname of the proxy
server, a port, username, and password.

• Logging
EVO:RAIL is deployed with vRealize Log Insight. However, you may choose to use your own third-
party syslog server(s). To use vRealize Log Insight, point your browser to the configured IP address;
the username is admin. If you ssh to Log Insight, the username is root. The password, in either case,
is the one you specified for vCenter Server.
NOTE: The default IP address for Log Insight is preconfigured; for example, 192.168.10.201. If
you change the IP address of vCenter Server, you must change the IP address of Log Insight to
be on the same subnet.

your existing syslog server(s).
• Dell PowerTools Cluster Services Manager (CSM)
The EVO:RAIL Configuration user interface supports deployment of Dell PowerTools CSM. Users
specify the IP address of the VM. EVO:RAIL deploys and configures the VM on the management VLAN
(that is, the same VLAN that EVO:RAIL, vCenter Server, the ESXi hosts, and Log Insight communicate
on, as noted in the EVO:RAIL Network Configuration Table Row 3).
