Table 8. Network Setup Preparation Worksheet for FC-only deployments with no ToR switches
(completed)
Step Step details Notes
1. Print this table to record the reserved resources.
2. Print out the Initial Configuration Worksheet to record the additional network resources you will need to create
networks in PowerStore T model the first time you create a cluster.
3. Record the out-of-band management switch ports to connect to:
Node A management 1GbE port to OOB port 2
Node B management 1GbE port to OOB port 53
4. Optionally, record the port on the out-of-band (OOB)
management switch port to use for remote discovery.
OOB port 1
5. Record the ports on the OOB management switch that will be used to connect to the uplinks.
Management Uplink A to port 25
Management Uplink B to port 26
6. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used on the OOB management switch:
Remote Discovery (untagged) 100
Management (untagged) 100
7. Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below:
Management IP address for out-of-band management
switch
100.0.100.50/24
Default gateway 100.0.100.1
NTP server 100.0.100.200
8. Record the port channel ID for the OOB management
switch.
port channel 10
9. Once you have completed steps above, you have the necessary information to configure the switches. Continue to
work with your network administrator to complete the Initial Configuration Worksheet now to ensure that:
● Your network configuration on the switch aligns with the network configuration that will be done in PowerStore T
model.
● You reserve the necessary network resources to complete deployment of PowerStore T model and the PowerStore
T model networks.
10. Determine if you will use a direct connection or a remote connection to discover your PowerStore.
Once you have successfully discovered your PowerStore, you will be guided through the Initial Configuration Wizard
to create your first PowerStore cluster.
