Figure 12. Configure Networking
6. Click vCenter Server to type the IP address for EVO:RAIL Management and vCenter Server. The
Netmask and Default gateway IP addresses are automatically copied from
ESXi hosts.
• If you type a new vCenter Server IP address, EVO:RAIL automatically reconfigure and informs you
its new IP address, as described in Step 11.
• The IP address of vRealize Log Insight (in Step 9, Globals)must be same as subnet and vCenter
Server.
• Port numbers remain the same. EVO:RAIL — 7443 and vSphere Web Client — 9443.
7. Click VM networks to configure VM networks. Type a VM Network Name and VM Network VLAN ID.
Click Add a VM network to add more networks.
8. Click Passwords to specify the passwords for the ESXi hosts and vCenter Server. Type and confirm
the ESXi hosts root password, and the vCenter Server admin password.
Passwords must contain 8 –20 characters, with at least one uppercase, one lower case, and one
special character. No character can be repeated three consecutive times.
Optional: To use AD for authentication, type the AD username, AD password, and AD domain.
EVO:RAIL does not fully configure Active Directory. You must perform more steps http://
pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-B23B1360-8838-4FF2-
B074-71643C4CB040.html on the vSphere Web Client.
9. Click Globals to specify the time zone, logging, and any existing DNS, NTP, or Proxy servers on your
network. If you have multiple servers, separate them with commas. EVO:RAIL configures each of
these services, as needed. For example, all ESXi hosts and the vCenter Server are configured with the
specified NTP server when this field is filled out.
Logging combines information for auditing and to track the functionality of EVO:RAIL, vCenter
Server, and ESXi. By default, logging is set to vRealize Log Insight. You may alternately select an
existing third-party syslog server. The default IP address for Log Insight is preconfigured; for example,
192.168.10.201. If you change the IP address of vCenter Server in step 6, change the IP address of
Log Insight to be on the same subnet.
10. Click Dell to specify the IP address for the Dell PowerTools Cluster Services Manager solution.
