Vxflex Os Management Ip Network - Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Node 14G Manual

Before you begin connecting the switches, ensure that they are installed and
configured. Do not connect the switches to your organization's network until all
installation and configuration activities are complete.
Note
Each node has at least four 10GbE or two 25 GbE ports. Two are used for internal
network communications. The other two ports are used for VMware high
availability, DRS, and client network traffic. In cases of only two 25 GbE ports,
the ports are also used for other network traffic.
The switches must have sufficient available network ports to accommodate the
following:
Data network 10/25 GbE switches: Two 10/25 GbE ports per node, per switch
l
Management network switches: One 1/10 GbE and one BMC (iDRAC) port
l
per node.
IP addresses
Note
The AMS or discovery server must reside on the same Layer 2 physical network
(or VLAN) as the ESXi management Port (Broadcast Domain). The Ethernet
broadcast protocol is used during the initial detection and deployment process.
Prepare IP addresses in your network for the VxFlex Ready Node servers based
on the following calculations:
Table 3 VxFlex OS management IP network
Item Description
N Number of nodes
IP address pools The pools of IP addresses used for static allocation for the following
groups:
1. Node_MGMT_IP = Management IP addresses of the VxFlex Ready
Node servers
2. SVM_MGMT_IP = VxFlex OS storage VM management IP address
3. BMC_MGMT_IP = BMC (iDRAC) IP address for each node
AMS server\Proxy The IP address used by the AMS server\proxy software to manage the
IP address VxFlex Ready Node servers and logical entities
(recommended to reside on the same subnet, unless the proxy is used for
Discovery operations)
The formula to calculate IP address subnet pool or subnet needs is: N*Node_MGMT_IP
+N*SVM_MGMT_IP+N*BMC_MGMT_IP + Optional (AMS server IP address)
Note
Each pool can belong to a single subnet or to several subnets, as long as the AMS
server has routable networking access to the Management IP address.
