Dell VxRail Network Planning Guide

Select hostnames for VxRail management components

VxRail management components that you deploy in the VxRail cluster require an IP address and a fully qualified hostname.

During initialization, each VxRail management component is assigned a hostname and IP address.

Determine the naming format for the hostnames to be applied to the VxRail management components that include each VMware ESXi host and VxRail Manager. If you deploy the VMware vCenter Server in the VxRail cluster, a hostname is required. VMware vRealize Log Insight in the VxRail cluster needs a hostname as well. You cannot change the hostnames and IP addresses of the VxRail management components after initial implementation.
