Dell PowerFlex 4.6.x Administration Guide
Add cluster component settings to a template
To deploy a PowerFlex compute-only node or a PowerFlex hyperconverged node, you must add VMware and PowerFlex cluster components settings to a template. For a PowerFlex storage-only node deployment, you must add cluster settings for the PowerFlex cluster component only. For a PowerFlex file deployment, you must add cluster settings for the PowerFlex file cluster component.
Steps
- On the template builder page, click Add Cluster.
- In the Cluster Component dialog box, from the Select a Component list, select VMware cluster, PowerFlex Cluster, or PowerFlex File Cluster.
- Under Related Components, select the components that you want to map to the selected cluster instance.
- Click Continue.
- Under Cluster Settings, specify the settings that you want to configure on the cluster components and click Add.
