vMotion Network
Enables users to migrate virtual machines within the vSphere cluster. The IP addresses in the
vMotion network are used for a dedicated network that transfer virtual machines between
appliances.
2 IPs for each PowerStore

Infrastructure Services
Record IP addresses for your DNS and NTP servers. It is recommended that you specify at least two addresses for DNS and
NTP servers each.
DNS Server 100.0.100.200 100.0.100.201
NTP Server 100.0.100.200 100.0.100.201
Top-of-Rack (ToR) Information
Record the switch IP addresses to validate the cabling and switch settings before the cluster is configured. To ensure a strong
layer of redundancy, it is required that you connect your appliance to at least two switches. You can provide read-only
credentials for the switches.

IP Address N/A N/A
Port N/A N/A
User Credentials / Community String N/A N/A

PowerStore X model Only Hypervisor
Record your existing vCenter administrator login credentials. The initial configuration workflow
automatically creates a datacenter and ESXi cluster, and associates them with your cluster.
NOTE: Ensure that the vCenter Server is accessible on the network.

SupportAssist (Optional)
SupportAssist is a secure, automated health and system monitoring capability. It sends notifications to Dell EMC, enables
remote support, and sends data to CloudIQ. Once your cluster is created successfully, you can connect to Dell EMC
SupportAssist. If you already have SupportAssist enabled, record the associated account details and the gateway or proxy IP
information here.
