Importing networks

You can import a large number of general-purpose VLANs from vCenter.

About this task

This capability is available on the PowerFlex appliance and PowerFlex rack offerings only.

After importing networks, you can add them to templates or resource groups. You can also import networks when you add an existing resource group.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Resources.
  2. On the All Resources tab, click the VMware vCenter from which you want to import networks.
  3. In the right pane, click Import Networks.
    PowerFlex Manager displays the Import Networks wizard. In the Import Networks wizard, PowerFlex Manager lists the port groups that are defined on the vCenter as Available Networks. You can see the port groups and the VLAN IDs.
  4. Optionally, search for a VLAN name or VLAN ID.
    PowerFlex Manager filters the list of available networks to include only those networks that match your search.
  5. Click each network you want to add under Available Networks. If you want to add all the available networks, click the check box to the left of the Name column.
  6. Click the double arrow (>>) to move the networks you chose to Selected Networks.
    PowerFlex Manager updates the Selected Networks to show the ones you have chosen.
  7. Click Save.

Results

PowerFlex Manager creates a job to add the networks. The job may finish quickly, so you may not see on the Jobs page.

Next steps

Go to Settings > Networks to see the imported networks.
