3.3. Connecting Cables to the ApplianceΒΆ

Note

For more details on configuring the network infrastructure, see the complete Installation Guide.

To prepare the appliance for configuration, do the following:

  1. Connect the appliance to the electrical outlets using the supplied power cables.

  2. Connect network interfaces #1 of all nodes (1 on the diagram) to a switch (2 on the diagram) with access to a dedicated subnet for your software-defined infrastructure. The nodes have preconfigured IP addresses: 10.20.20.11 to 10.20.20.15. Connect the admin laptop (3 on the diagram) to the same switch.

  3. (Optional) Connect the out-of-band management network interfaces of each node and the chassis (1 on the diagram) to a switch with access to the IPMI subnet for your appliance (2 on the diagram). The nodes have preconfigured IPMI IP addresses: 10.20.30.11 to 10.20.30.15. The chassis has the preconfigured IPMI IP address 10.20.30.10. Connect the admin laptop (3 on the diagram) to the same switch.
