Deployment prerequisites

  • Change operating system to iDRAC pass-through IPs

    Each cluster node host operating system should have a unique remote NDIS network interface controller IPV4 IP. Otherwise, this may cause IP-conflict for the cluster.

    To change the operating system to iDRAC pass-through IPs, do the following steps on each node:
    1. Log in to the iDRAC.

    2. Go to iDRAC Settings > Connectivity > OS to iDRAC Pass-through.

    3. Provide unique IPs for each node. For example, if node1 has IP 169.254.10.1, then node2 can be 169.254.10.3, node3 can be 169.254.10.5, and node4 can be 169.254.10.7.
