Deploy the w01 domain

  • Use SDDC Manager to deploy the w01 workload domain per the VMware Cloud Foundation for VxRail Deployment Procedures on Dell Technologies SolVe Online.

    Note: For the example in this guide, the workload domain VxRail Manager IP address information is set to the following per the Dell Technologies SolVe Online procedure: IP address – 172.18.21.73, Netmask – 255.255.255.0, Gateway – 172.18.21.254, VLAN – 1821.

    For reference, the table below shows all workload domain settings used for this deployment example.
