● You reserve the necessary network resources to complete deployment of PowerStore T model and the PowerStore
T model networks.
19. Determine if you will use a direct connection or a remote connection to discover your PowerStore.
Once you have successfully discovered your PowerStore, you will be guided through the Initial Configuration Wizard
to create your first PowerStore cluster.

Cluster Details
For resource management, efficiency, and availability purposes, appliances act as a single component called cluster.
Cluster Name PowerStoreTCluster
Appliance Service Tags
The service tag appears on
the black tag on the front of
the base enclosure. When the
systems arrive, identify the
base enclosures that you
want to configure together as
a cluster, and record their

Networks
Your cluster requires a dedicated set of IP addresses for each type of network.
NOTE: VLAN information for management, storage, vMotion, and NAS networks are optional and default to 0. It is a
marker used to indicate that the network traffic is not tagged and native VLAN is applied through the switch. For better
security and performance, it is recommended that you specify VLAN information for each type of network.
Ensure that you configure a unique subnet for each type of network.
Management Network
Connects the cluster to services such as DNS and NTP. The IP addresses in the management
network are used to address the cluster, appliances, controllers, and internal hosts.
4 IPs for each PowerStore
T model Appliance
6 IPs for each PowerStore
