The Dell EMC PowerEdge server configurations are used with 25 GbE networking. To ensure that the network is HA ready, two network cards, each offering 2 x 25 GbE ports, are required for each node.
The PowerEdge servers need to be configured for the Dell EMC Charmed OpenStack solution. Following are components that need to be configured:
Verify that the physical, and virtual disks are in ready state, and that the virtual disks are autoconfigured to RAID 0. The IPMI over LAN option must be enabled in each server through the BIOS.
For detailed hardware configurations of the Dell Technologies solution for the Charmed OpenStack platform, consult Dell Technologies sales and services representative.
Caution: Ensure that the firmware is up to date or match the versions from the table above.
