Plan networking to support VxRail satellite node management

Plan networking to support VxRail satellite node management

  • VxRail satellite nodes deployed at remote locations must be able to connect to a VxRail Manager instance on a previously deployed VxRail cluster to enable centralized monitoring and management. VxRail Manager, which is deployed on the external management network, must be able to discover every planned satellite node by IP address.

    Figure 68.    Routing between VxRail Manager and VxRail satellite nodes

    Each VxRail satellite node is assigned a management IP address during the installation process. At initial power-on, the VxRail satellite node is considered stranded until a connection with a VxRail Manager instance is established. Plan your data center network to allow the VxRail external management network to route externally, and work with your network administrators or service providers to support this network to route to each planned VxRail satellite node.
