Overview

  • Dell storage Validated Designs focus on Dell storage arrays using principal or supplemental storage for workload domains.

    Before completing the main steps in this guide, complete the following prerequisites.

    VMware Cloud Foundation:

    • VMware Cloud Builder has deployed the management domain.
    • Hosts are commissioned and are ready to be added to a new workload domain.

    Dell storage:

    Storage networking is configured to allow connectivity between the Dell arrays and the VMware Cloud Foundation workload hosts.

    • For NFS and iSCSI configurations, dedicate a workload domain VLAN for an IP-based storage network pool.

    VMware Cloud Foundation 4.1 and later versions allow separate VLANs for NFS and iSCSI.

    • For FC configuration, the workload host initiator’s WWNs must be zoned with the SCSI target port WWNs for the array within the FC switch networks.
    • For NVMe/FC configuration, the workload host initiator's NVMe WWNs must be zoned with the array’s NVMe WWNs.
