Hardware requirements
Consider the hardware requirements when choosing hardware for the VxRail vSAN 2-node cluster.
The 2-node configuration is supported with the following platforms:
- 100GbE with VxRail 8.0.300.
- VxRail E, P, V, D, S, VD, VE, and VP series models
- VxRail 7.0.010 and earlier versions support:
- 4 x 10 GbE
- 2 x 1 GbE + 2 x 10 GbE
- VxRail 7.0.100 and later versions support:
- 4 x 10 GbE (NDC, OCP)
- 2 x 10 GbE (NDC, OCP) and 2 x 10 GbE (PCIe)
- 2 x 1 GbE + 2 x 10 GbE or 2 x 25 GbE
- 4 x 25 GbE (2 x 25 GbE on NDC + 2 x 25 GbE on PCIe)
- 4 x 25 GbE (OCP)
NOTE:One GbE is for VxRail management network support only. VMware vSphere vMotion and VMware vSAN require a higher speed network.
NOTE:VD-4000 supports 1GbE with transceivers.
