PowerStore supports configuring up to 256 storage networks.
The following information is required to create a Storage network.
NOTE:The sample network resources below can be used on the two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches configured for the NVMe/TCP network that is described in
Configuring PowerStore storage networks with Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack switches. If the same network was not configured on the Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 ToR switches described in this guide, replace the sample resources with values matching the configured network.
Table 1. New Storage network resourcesLists a sample of resources that are used to add an NVMe/TCP storage network to PowerStore Manager.
