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 VLAN (Optional, Defaults to 0) Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway IP Addresses 200 255.255.255.0/24 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.10-19 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. 192.168.2.20 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 400 255.255.255.0/24 192.168.4.1 192.168.4.10-11 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.

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.
