Implementing
PowerFlex is, in general, a two-step process: first build the physical storage layer, then configure the virtual SAN layer on top of it.
Communication is done over the existing LAN data network using standard TCP/IP. The MDM and SDS nodes can be assigned to up to eight IP addresses, enabling wider bandwidth and better I/O performance and redundancy.
To build the physical storage layer:
Physically assemble the server nodes in the rack and perform all cabling, according to the instructions for your
PowerFlex product.
Configure the operating system, including all required IP addresses, based on network best practice guidelines.
Using
PowerFlex Installer, deploy the
PowerFlex software.
The physical layer is now ready, and you can expose a virtual storage layer.
PowerFlex appliance and
PowerFlex rack offer a more automated installation experience using
PowerFlex Installer. For more information regarding
PowerFlex Manager management and operation capabilities, see
