Network types
You can manage various network types in PowerFlex Manager.
- General Purpose LAN—Used to access network resources for basic networking activities.
- Hypervisor Management—Used to identify the management network for a hypervisor or operating system that is deployed on a node.
- Hypervisor Migration—Used to manage the network that you want to use for live migration. Live migration enables you to move running virtual machines from one node of the failover cluster to different node in the same cluster.
- OS Installation—Allows static or DHCP network for operating system imaging on nodes.
- Hardware Management—Used for out-of-band management of hardware infrastructure
- PowerFlex Data—Used for data traffic between storage data servers (SDS) and storage data clients (SDC)
- PowerFlex Data (Client Traffic Only)—Used for storage data client traffic only
- PowerFlex Data (Server Traffic Only)—Used for storage data server traffic only
- PowerFlex Replication—Used to support PowerFlex replication
- NAS File Management—Used to support PowerFlex file management traffic
- NAS File Data—Used to support PowerFlex file data traffic
- PowerFlex Management—Used for PowerFlex system management
