Dell PowerStore Networking Guide for PowerStore T Models

IP requirements for initial deployment

You will need IP addresses to configure the networks in PowerStore through the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) which runs automatically after you discover PowerStore.

Management network IP address requirements

You will need to reserve a total of 4 IP addresses for the management network:

  • 3 IP addresses per appliance assigned as follows:
    • 1 to Node A
    • 1 to Node B
    • 1 to the appliance
  • 1 IP per cluster

You can choose to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to the management network. You cannot assign different IP versions to the same network, for example, all 4 IPs assigned to the management network must all be either IPv4 or IPv6.

For details see the Initial Configuration Worksheet.

NOTE: It is recommended that you reserve extra IP addresses to accommodate adding more appliances in the future.

Storage networks

There are no IP requirements for the Storage network during initial deployment. However, you will need IP address for the Storage networks if you are adding them later in PowerStore Manager, REST API, or CLI. See Add Storage Services.
