Table 4. PowerStore T model: completed example of an Initial Configuration Worksheet (continued) 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. Cluster IP Address VLAN (Optional, Defaults to 0) 192.168.1.10 Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway 4 IPs for each PowerStore T model Appliance 6 IPs for each PowerStore X model Appliance IP Addresses 0 255.255.255.0/24 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.11-13 Storage Network (Optional) Enables clients to access the storage in the cluster. 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 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. 192.168.2.12 VLAN (Optional, Defaults to 0) Netmask/Prefix Length Gateway IP Addresses 200 255.255.255.0/24 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.10-11 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 N/A N/A N/A N/A 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. DNS Server NTP Server 100.0.100.200 100.0.100.200 100.0.100.201 100.0.100.201 PowerStore T model: Before you begin 15
