Physical Layout

  • You can implement multiple configurations of VMware Cloud Foundation on a Dell PowerEdge MX7000 chassis. The Cloud Foundation software addresses the host servers using their IP address. Deploying compute sleds across multiple PowerEdge MX7000 chassis has no impact on the software as long as the networking is configured properly on the PowerEdge MX I/O Modules (IOMs) and the switches to which the PowerEdge MX7000 chassis connects. The physical layout and resulting cabling is impacted by the number of PowerEdge MX7000 chassis in use, but no other changes are made in the environment.
