Perform this task to deploy the
PowerFlex file cluster.
About this task
Prerequisites
Deploy a storage-only or hyperconverged resource group that includes a
PowerFlex cluster that will be associated with the
PowerFlex file cluster. When you deploy the
PowerFlex file cluster, the control volumes that are needed for file enablement will be added automatically.
Steps
On the menu bar, click
Templates.
On the
Templates page, click
Create.
In the
Add a Template wizard, click
Clone an existing PowerFlex Manager template.
For
Category, select
Sample Templates. For
Template to be Cloned, select
PowerFlex File or
PowerFlex File - SW Only. Click
Next.
On the
Template Information page, provide the template name, template category, template description, firmware and software compliance, and who should have access to the resource group deployed from this template. Click
Next.
On the
Additional Settings page, enter new values for the
Network Settings,
PowerFlex Gateway Settings,
OS Settings, and
Node Pool Settings.
For the
Network Settings in a
PowerFlex file cluster template, you must provide a
NAS Management network and two
NAS Data networks.
For the
OS Settings, you must choose
Use Compliance File Linux Image.
For the
PowerFlex Gateway Settings, select
block-legacy-gateway.
Click
Finish.
After creating the template, click
Templates, select the cloned template, and click
Modify Template.
Edit the
PowerFlex cluster,
PowerFlex file cluster, and node components as needed and click
Save.
Publish the template and deploy the resource group.
Results
NAS volumes are shown during the deployment, and then compressed to one icon with a number based on the number of nodes. For example, you might see the number
4 for a two-node NAS compute-only deployment. Each time you expand the deployment by adding another node, the number is incremented to show that another volume is added.
