Prerequisites
The following requirements must be met on all the hosts before the host setup:
- Based on the current compatibility matrix, only KVM is supported with PowerFlex. In this solution, RHEL is used with KVM.
- Install hypervisor on all the hosts. Configure networking as required. For more information, see the Network architecture section.
- Update the fully qualified domain name, the host should have Internet access and turn on the NTP for time synchronization.
- Set SELinux to permissive.
- Ensure that the latest version of the Java package is installed.
- Each hypervisor could communicate with the other hypervisors and the Management Server. Verify the connectivity using the following ping command:
ping <hypervisor or management server IP>
