Description
Experience Level: Expert
Network Requirements
A minimum of three networks on different subnets/VLAN will be required
• One for management traffic
• One for storage data traffic
• One for vMotion traffic
The HX management network:
• will handle the hypervisor management and HX management traffic
• will be connected to the vCenter server
• must be routable
The HX data storage network:
• will handle the HX data traffic
• does not need to be routable and can be on a private network
• MTU 9000 should be configured on the uplink
The vMotion network:
• will be configured by the installer (handles vMotion and storage vMotion)
2. vCenter Requirements:
• vCenter 6.0U1 (for factory prepared systems) or vCenter 5.5U3
• Administrator account that has privileges at the root-level and password
3. IP requirements
• v centre server - IP and credentials
• IPS for Data network (7 ips), Management network and VM network (14 ips)
• Ntp server IP
4. 2 ports for uplink and 2 ports for management
5. Deployment Information:
Before deployment of Cisco HX Data Platform and creation of cluster, the vSphere hosts and vCenter server configuration and networking information will be collected to determine Cisco HX Data Platform settings.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Fourth Quadrant will thoroughly evaluate the environment and perform the following:
• Racking, stacking and cabling of HX
• POST for both the fabric interconnects
• Initialization of both the fabric interconnects.
• Cluster configuration for both the fabric interconnects.
• Deploy the HX Data Platform Installer OVA to an existing ESXi server.
• HX Data Platform Installer configuration to install the HX Data Platform and create the HX Data Platform storage cluster.
• Configure UCS Manager (Pools, Policies etc.) using HX Data Platform Installer.
• Configure storage cluster.
• vSwitch-hx-inband-mgmt configuration for Management traffic network.
• vSwitch hx-storage-data configuration for Data traffic network.
• vSwitch hx-vmotion configuration for vMotion network.
• vSwitch hx-vm-network configuration for VM network.
• DRS, vMotion and High-Availability configuration for HX hosts.
• Data and Management networks configuration for Hypervisor and Storage Controller.
• Storage Cluster Management IP and Data IP configuration.
• Data replication factor configuration.
• Test Virtual Machine installation.
• Hardening and fine tuning post hardware installation
• Support during final acceptance testing.
