PowerStore X model Network Setup Preparation Worksheet (blank) Once completed, the Network Setup Preparation Worksheet will contain the network resources required to configure the networks and switches for your PowerStore X model deployment. Table 14. PowerStore X 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 X 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 X 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 switch port to use for discovery while configuring your switches. 5. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for system management: Remote Discovery (untagged) Management (tagged) 6. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for production: Storage network (tagged) vMotion (tagged) Internal (untagged) 7. Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below: Management IP address for switch 1 Management IP address for switch 2 Default gateway NTP server 8. Dell EMC supports deploying PowerStore X model with two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches with a layer 2 interconnect link. Choose which type of layer 2 interconnect you will use: Highly Recommended: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will use to connect the switches together. 38 PowerStore Network Setup Preparation Worksheets

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

3.
Determine which of the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch ports will be connected to the PowerStore X 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
