  • The VxRail Network Configuration appendix includes the hostnames and network settings required for VxRail management. Note the following:

    • Hostnames and IP addresses for VxRail management components are automatically assigned during initial build.
    • The IP addresses must be unused and permanent IP addresses, not DHCP-based.
    • The IP addresses assigned to VxRail management components must be on the same subnet.
    • The IP addresses are assigned to VxRail nodes during the initial build are done sequentially, so a range of IP addresses is required.
    • All ESXi hostnames in a VxRail cluster are defined by a naming scheme that is comprised of: an ESXi hostname prefix (an alphanumeric string), a separator (“None” or a dash ”-“), an iterator (Alpha, Num X, or Num 0X), an offset (empty or numeric), a suffix (empty or alphanumeric string with no .), and a domain.
    • Capture the IP addresses of the NTP and DNS servers. Both must be accessible to the VxRail external management network.
