9 Deploy VxRail A laptop computer or jump box with a web browser for the VxRail user interface is required. It is either plugged into a leaf switch or able to logically reach the VxRail in-band management VLAN from elsewhere on the network. By default, the initial VxRail Manager IP address is 192.168.10.200/24. After initial configuration, the address changes to its new address on the in-band management network. The new VxRail Manager address used in this guide is 172.16.11.102/24 per the planning data in 0. During installation, the laptop or jump box must be able to reach both the initial and new VxRail Manager addresses, so two addresses are configured on the network adapter, one for each network. Note: Both addresses may be configured at the same time if the network adapter supports it, or in sequence if required. The IP addresses configured on the laptop computer/jump box in this example are as follows: • 192.168.10.1/24, to communicate with the initial VxRail Manager address, 192.168.10.200/24 • 172.16.11.50/24, to communicate with the new VxRail Manager address, 172.16.11.102/24 If a laptop computer is used, the connections appear as shown in Figure 17.

Deploy VxRail
A laptop computer or jump box with a web browser for the VxRail user interface is required. It is either
plugged into a leaf switch or able to logically reach the VxRail in-band management VLAN from elsewhere on
the network.
By default, the initial VxRail Manager IP address is 192.168.10.200/24. After initial configuration, the address
changes to its new address on the in-band management network. The new VxRail Manager address used in
this guide is 172.16.11.102/24 per the planning data in 0.
During installation, the laptop or jump box must be able to reach both the initial and new VxRail Manager
addresses, so two addresses are configured on the network adapter, one for each network.
Note:
Both addresses may be configured at the same time if the network adapter supports it, or in sequence
if required.
The IP addresses configured on the laptop computer/jump box in this example are as follows:
•
192.168.10.1/24, to communicate with the initial VxRail Manager address, 192.168.10.200/24
•
172.16.11.50/24, to communicate with the new VxRail Manager address, 172.16.11.102/24
If a laptop computer is used, the connections appear as shown in Figure 17.

Use of a laptop computer for deployment
If a PowerEdge server is used as a jump box, make the connections as shown in Figure 18. Access the jump
box’s operating system from a workstation via the iDRAC virtual console.

PowerEdge server as a jump box
Note:
This deployment uses a PowerEdge server as a jump box that is also in the roles of DNS and NTP
server. It may be connected to both leaf switches for redundancy using NIC teaming. Figure 18 shows a
single connection from a jump box to a leaf switch for clarity.
