Predeployment configuration

  • Before deploying AX nodes, complete the required predeployment configuration tasks.

    Complete the following predeployment configuration before deploying the Azure Stack HCI solution.
    Note: If the cluster has persistent memory devices, preoperating-system deployment configuration, as well as post-operating-system deployment configuration is required. For more information, see Appendix: Persistent Memory for Azure Stack HCI.
