Martin,

Your best best is to pull down the SolVe Desktop (Windows application) to generate the procedure for doing the install.  Based on what you have here though, you'll need one IP address per VPLEX cluster and 2 IP addresses per VNXe (one per SP).

Martin - Lets us know if you run in to any issues and we'd be glad to help

Video Documentation also available @ VPLEX

Hello Anurag,

I found this information about the vDirector, each vDirectory has 10 virtual network adapters ...

"A VPLEX/VE Trial vDirector has 10 virtual network adapters."

We plan to deploy a VPLEX/VE with VNXe for backend Storage.

We use iscsi for storage traffic. My questions is ;

How many IP-Addresses are required for Frontend/Backend Traffic for the VPLEX and the connection between two sites (VPLEX WAN traffic). We'll separate this traffic by VLAN (e.g. VLAN for Frontend, VLAN for backend etc.)

Kind Regards,

Martin

Hi John,

A VPLEX/VE Trial Configuration has 2 directors on each site which are :

Site 1

1-1-A

1-1-B

Site 2

2-1-A

2-1-B

Here are the IP Addresses you will need :

VLAN1

VLAN2

VLAN3

VLAN4

VLAN5

VLAN6

Hi Martin,

It looks like you were trying to deploy the VPLEX/VE at those time.

I'm trying to do it nowadays. Unfortunately, the image of VPLEX/VE TRIAL is no more available to download from almost the whole internet

I had obtained only the full version of VPLEX VE which required a license to deploy&configure&run. 

Please check do you still have those binaries of VPLEX/VE trial, and you are agreeing to share it with me? 

Regards Romuald

Hi Romuald, VPLEX/VE has not been supported for a very long time

Hi Ankur,

You're right, vplex/ve has reached its EOL in 2016. But the core/fundamental features didn't change since that time. Am I right?

I'm planning to use it just for SAVE educational purposes.

As a result of VPLEX/VE EOL , there is no more chance to download its TRIAL version from official DELL sources. Only FULL VPLEX/VE is available there, but this one requires the license generated by EMC/DELL to use it.

If you have an image of VPLEX/VE_TRIAL please share it.
