Configuring components
Before you set up Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V on the virtual infrastructure, you must set up and
configure the following components:
1. Dell Networking R1-2210 10GbE switch module. See Configuring Dell Networking R1-2210 switch
module.
2. PowerEdge VRTX chassis and M630 servers. See Configuring VRTX chassis CMC and M630 servers
for OOB management.
3. Configure VRTX Storage. See Configuring the VRTX storage.
Configuring Dell Networking R1-2210 switch module
This section describes configuring the switch module R1-2210 by using CLI. To configure the switch
module R1-2210, the following tasks are performed:
• Set the host name of the switch and credentials to access the switch.
• Configure the VLANs on the server and uplink ports.
The section also describes setting up an uplink port channel for external connectivity.
To configure the Dell Networking R1-2210 switch module, perform the following steps:
1. Access the switch console (CLI) of the R1-2210 switch module.
To access the console, use SSH with the VRTX CMC console and type connect switch.
2. Configure the host name. Syntax: hostname <name>
console#configure
console(config)#hostname R1-2210
console(config)#ex
3. Configure a system username and password to access the system remotely by using the following
commands:
Syntax: username <username> password <password> privilege <privilege level>
R1–2210#
configure
username admin password Dell1234 prev 15
Exit
4. Configure the Management IP address by performing the following in the VRTX CMC GUI:
a. Log in to the CMC GUI by using the default user name root and password calvin.
b. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → I/O Module → 10 GbE KR, and then click the Setup
tab.
c. In the Setup tab, assign IP to the R1–2210 switch and click Apply.
