VxFlex GUI
Installing the VxFlex graphical user interface (GUI) on a management workstation provides a way to monitor
and configure the VxFlex system. Once installed, the virtual IP assigned to Data1 (172.16.34.4) can be used
to access the VxFlex GUI. The installation file is part of the VxFlex for Windows download. The VxFlex cluster
that is created is shown below in Figure 11.
