Dell Technologies recommends at least four 25 GbE interfaces for each PowerFlex node. The number of interfaces that are actually required depends on how many vSwitches are defined, as well as the total network bandwidth requirements. The following table shows the number of vSwitches and their target usage in this solution deployment:
vSwitch |
Speed |
Network type |
Dvswitch0 |
2 x 25 GB |
General-purpose LAN, hypervisor management, operating system installation, hardware management, application VMs (Oracle, Hadoop, Oracle NoSQL, Microsoft SQL Server) public and private communication |
Dvswitch1 |
2 x 25 GB |
PowerFlex Data 1 and PowerFlex Data 2 |
