n
VxFlex OS
l
Ensure that all nodes are running the same version of VxFlex OS software as
n
the AMS.
Networking
l
In two-layer, bare metal systems, layer 1 contains SDS, MDM and LIA
n
components, and can use a 2-channel or 4-channel data network. Layer 2 (both
in ESXi and Linux systems) consists of SDCs only, on a 2-channel data
network.
The iDRAC component of each server should be configured.
n
vCenter (when used) must be configured.
n
Devices
l
On 14G servers running ESXi, NVMe SSD storage devices must be configured
