Cluster Name PowerStoreTCluster Appliance Service Tags CNR42W2 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 service tags. 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.

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.
