Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Managing network sets using SCLI

This section provides the SCLI commands that you need to perform to add, modify, rename, remove, or query network sets.

This feature is allowed only using SCLI. It is not available in PowerFlex Manager.

A network set is a set of networks that are connected to the same switch. This switch is configured for balancing the I/O traffic between access switches by associating system data networks to network set. The load balancer takes care of the distribution of networks over network sets.

For example, if a system is defined with two system data networks (192.168.150.0 and 192.168.151.0), then you could create two network sets and associate 192.168.150.0 with network set 1 and 192.168.151.0 to network set 2.

Each system data network belongs to exactly one network set. If the network was not assigned to a network set, the network will be considered a network set of its own.

Use the default network set and do not manually create the network set. Creating network sets is applicable for a software-only deployment.
