Dell VxRail Architecture Overview

Network considerations

Consider the network properties when configuring a VMware vSAN HCI mesh.

Configure the data center network infrastructure to enable VMware vSAN network connectivity between the participating clusters to use VMware vSAN HCI Mesh. The client cluster must be able to discover the remote VMware vSAN data store to locally mount the resource to use the VM workload. For this discovery, configure the VMware vSAN network on the VxRail standard cluster with VMware vSAN storage and the VxRail dynamic cluster to connect over the data center network. HCI mesh supports connectivity over a L2 or L3 network.
