Steps to configure the Management switch for initial deployment
Initial deployment requires a minimum of one Management switch.
This document describes the steps to deploy PowerStore T model with a single cluster consisting of one appliance with a single base enclosure connected to a Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Management switch.
Steps to configure the Management switch include:
- Establish a terminal session to the Management switch.
- Validate the switch version and licensing.
- Configure the Management switch.
- If you have not done so already, cable the Management switch to the base enclosure nodes.
Once you have configured and cabled the Management switch to the base enclosure nodes, validate the configuration before discovering the PowerStore T model appliance. For validation options see: Validate the Management switch configuration.
