Isilon nodes, OMNI, and vCenter must be able to reach a correctly configured DNS server from the External Management VLAN during and after deployment. The DNS server must include forward and reverse lookup entries for ESXi hosts, vCenter, OMNI, and Isilon SmartConnect.
Add forward and reverse lookup records on the DNS server using the hostnames and IP addresses used in this network. The DNS server IP address is different for the L2 and L3 examples. The following table lists DNS entries for both L2 and L3 deployment examples:
Hostname | IP address | Description |
esxi01.dell.local | 172.18.11.101 | Rack 1 ESXi server |
esxi02.dell.local | 172.18.11.102 | Rack 1 ESXi server |
vcenter01.dell.local | 172.18.11.62 | vCenter |
ntp.dell.local | In L2 example: 172.18.11.50 In L3 example: 172.19.11.50 |
NTP server |
omni.dell.local | 172.18.11.56 | OMNI |
sczoneA.dell.local | 172.18.1.160 | Isilon SmartConnect |
