Figure 6. PowerStore T model networks with the Management VLAN tagged
When the management VLAN is tagged, remote discovery of PowerStore T model runs over the native VLAN and the
management traffic runs over the tagged VLAN.
NOTE:
This document provides examples for configuring the Management network with untagged VLANs.
IP requirements for initial deployment
You will need IP addresses to configure the networks in PowerStore through the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) which runs
automatically after you discover PowerStore.
Management network IP address requirements
You will need to reserve a total of 4 IP addresses for the management network:
●
3 IP addresses per appliance assigned as follows:
○
1 to Node A
○
1 to Node B
○
1 to the appliance
●
1 IP per cluster
You can choose to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to the management network. You cannot assign different IP versions to
the same network, for example, all 4 IPs assigned to the management network must all be either IPv4 or IPv6.
For details see the
Initial Configuration Worksheet
.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you reserve extra IP addresses to accommodate adding more appliances in the future.
