Setup Guide
Table 20. Initial Configuration Worksheet for deployments with ToR switches (completed) (continued)
Cluster IP Address
192.168.1.10
VLAN
(Optional, Defaults to 0)
Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway IP Addresses
0
255.255.255.0/24 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.11-13
Storage Network (Optional)
Enables clients to access the storage in the cluster. The IP addresses in the storage network
are used for iSCSI targets, iSCSI initiators, and the Global Storage Discovery IP address. If you
want to enable iSCSI interfaces later or only use Fibre Channel, you can skip this step.
NOTE: At a minimum, you need 6 IP addresses for each PowerStore X model appliance.
However, for performance improvements, it is highly recommended that you have 10 IP
addresses for each PowerStore X model appliance.
2 IPs for each PowerStore
T model Appliance
6 or 10 IPs for each
PowerStore X model
Appliance
Global Storage Discovery IP Address
The last IP address you specify here is used as the Global Storage Discovery IP address.
It is recommended that you choose to create this IP address. It is used as the single highly
available floating IP address for hosts to easily discover storage from your cluster.
192.168.2.12
VLAN
(Optional, Defaults to 0)
Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway IP Addresses
200
255.255.255.0/24 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.10-11
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
X model Appliance
VLAN
(Optional, Defaults to 0)
Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway IP Addresses
N/A N/A N/A N/A
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.
Protocol (SSH/SNMP) SSH SSH
IP Address 100.0.100.10/24 100.0.100.11/24
Port Port 22 Port 22
User Credentials / Community String admin/Password123! admin/Password123!
PowerStore T model Only Out-of-Band Management Switch Information
You can provide read-only credentials for the switches.
