Work with your infrastructure administrator to plan and collect the information for your PowerStore initial configuration. Visit the
PowerStore Technical Documentation page at
https://dell.com/powerstoredocs
for more information on installing and configuring
your system.
Before you begin
•
For resource management, efficiency, and availability purposes, PowerStore appliances are configured together as a single
component called a PowerStore cluster. Ensure that a cluster only consists of all PowerStore T model or all PowerStore X
model appliances. In this release, you can only have one PowerStore X model appliance or up to four PowerStore T model
appliances in a cluster.
•
Each cluster requires several unique networks/VLANs and a specific number of IP addresses for each network. Refer to
the
PowerStore Network Planning Guide
to determine all your network requirements.
•
For PowerStore X model appliances, ensure that you do not change the preprogrammed ESXi root password before the
create cluster operation completes. The default ESXi password is uniquely configured for each PowerStore X model
appliance, and it is used when a cluster is formed. The password is used to authenticate with the ESXi host when the
nodes in the appliance are added to a vCenter cluster. If you change the default password before the cluster is fully
configured, the create cluster operation will fail and you will have to reinitialize the system.
Initial Login Information
