2.4 Management system A management system is used to deploy and manage the S2D cluster. In this guide, a Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server is used as the S2D management system. It also serves as the Active Directory (AD) domain controller and DNS server for the examples provided. Optionally, existing AD and DNS infrastructure may be used provided it has network connectivity to the S2D Ready Nodes via the in-band management network. Note: The management system is not part of the S2D cluster and does not contribute storage to it. 2.5 PowerEdge R640 management system Supported Dell EMC Networking switches The examples provided in this deployment guide use two Dell EMC Networking S5248F-ON switches running OS10 Enterprise Edition (OS10EE) for storage, in-band management, and VM traffic. One Dell EMC Networking S3048-ON switch is used for out-of-band management traffic. For the complete list of supported Dell EMC Networking switches and minimum operating system versions, see Support Matrix for Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. Note: Switch configuration steps in this deployment guide are specific to OS10EE. For switch configuration examples using OS9, see Sample Switch Configurations - Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. 8 Dell EMC Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI Networking Guide
