Table 12. PowerStore T model Network Setup Preparation Worksheet (blank) Step Step details Notes 1. Print this table to record the reserved resources. 2. Print out the Initial Configuration Worksheet to record the additional network resources you will need to create networks in PowerStore T model the first time you create a cluster. 3. Determine which of the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch ports will be connected to the PowerStore T model appliance base enclosure nodes. At a minimum, ports 0 and 1 on the node must be connected to the ToR switches. When cabling the nodes to the ToR switches: ● Port 0 and Port 1 on the same node must connect to opposite switches ● Port 0 on Node A, and Port 0 on Node B must connect to opposite switches ● Port 1 on Node A, and Port 1 on Node B must connect to opposite switches Record the ToR switch ports required to connect to: Node A, Port 0 to Node A, Port 1 to Node B, Port 0 to Node B, Port 1 to 4. Record the out-of-band management switch ports to connect to: Node A management 1GbE port to Node B management 1GbE port to 5. Optionally, record the port on the out-of-band (OOB) management switch port to use for remote discovery. 6. Record the ports on the OOB management switch that will be used to connect to the uplinks.
