Dell EMC PowerFlex Rack Using PowerFlex Manager
Add a network to a service
You can add an available network to a service or choose to define a new network for a configuration that was initially deployed outside of PowerFlex Manager. You cannot remove an added network using PowerFlex Manager.
About this task
Before you can add a network to a service, define the network.
You can add a static route to allow nodes to communicate across different networks. The static route can also be used to support replication in storage-only and hyperconverged services.
