3. To customize EVO:RAIL, click Hostnames to define a naming scheme for your ESXi hosts. The host

server name consists of an ESXi hostname prefix, a Separator, an Iterator, and a Top-level domain

(TLD)

. The Preview option displays an example of the result of the first ESXi host.

• Type the ESXi hostname prefix.

• Select the Separator (“None” or a dash ”-“) and the Iterator (Alpha, Num X, or Num 0X) from the

drop-down menu.

• Type the Top-level domain name.

• Type the vCenter Server hostname. The top-level domain is automatically updated to the vCenter

Server top-domain level.

4. On the Networking screen, provide the IP or VLAN details for each network type: ESXi hosts, Virtual

SAN, vSphere vMotion vCenter Server, and VM Network.

• On the ESXi hosts screen, type the Starting address for IP pool, Ending address for IP pool,

Netmask, and Default gateway. The VLAN ID can only be configured at the factory.

vSphere vMotion VLAN ID, and the Netmask.
