Options Descriptions
Primary interface selection gives priority to the selected
interface in terms of routing and is used as the default route.
This interface will have the routing priority if there is any
ambiguity. The primary interface is also expected to be the
'public facing' interface which allows for corporate network/
internet connectivity. Different firewall rules are applied to the
primary interface, which allow for tighter access control such
as access restriction by IP range.
NOTE: If multihoming is enabled, the appliance can
be accessed from two networks. In this case, the
primary interface is used by the appliance for all external
communication and when proxy settings are used. For
more information about multihoming on OpenManage,
seeRemote script execution with Dell EMC OpenManage
Enterprise technical white paper on the support site.
Configure Static Routes Select Configure Static Routes if the networks require a
static route to be configured to reach a specific subnet over
the IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
NOTE: A maximum of 20 static routes per interface is
supported.
Configure Server Initiated Discovery Select Configure Server Initiated Discovery to allow the
appliance to automatically register the required records with
the configured DNS server.
NOTE:
● Ensure that the appliance is registered with DNS, and
can dynamically update records.
● The target systems must be configured to request
registration details from DNS.
● To change the DNS Domain Name, ensure Dynamic
DNS registration is enabled on the DNS server. Also,
for appliance to be registered on the DNS server,
select the Nonsecure and secure option under
Dynamic updates.
Configure Appliance Disk Size Select Configure Appliance Disk Size to scan for the
availability of disk space or new disk(s) and then allocate the
additional disk space or disk(s) for the appliance if required.
NOTE:
● It is highly recommended to take a VM snapshot of
the console as a backup before applying any disk
configuration changes.
● Post addition of the disk space, deletion or reduction
of the expanded disk space is not supported. To
remove a newly added disk or to reverse the increase
in size of an existing disk you must revert to prior VM
snapshot.
● If the initial scan detects no unallocated space, then
allocate additional disk space or disks to the console on
your hypervisor and rescan.
● Scanning and allocation of disk space is limited to a
maximum of four disks.
