IP requirements for initial deployment
Reserved IP addresses are required to configure the networks in the PowerStore Manager, Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW), which runs automatically after PowerStore is discovered.
Management network IP address requirements
Reserve four IP addresses for the management network:
- Three IP addresses per appliance are assigned as follows:
- One to Node A
- One to Node B
- One to the appliance
- One IP per cluster
Optionally, choose to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to the management network. Different IP versions cannot be assigned to the same network. For example, the four IPs assigned to the management network must all be either IPv4 or IPv6.
For details see the Initial Configuration Worksheet.
NOTE:It is recommended to reserve extra IP addresses to accommodate adding more appliances in the future.
Storage networks
There are no IP requirements for the Storage network during initial configuration. However, IP addresses are required for the Storage networks that are configured after initial configuration in the PowerStore Manager, REST API, or CLI. For details see the PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services.
