Figure 20. Required Brocade VDX network
Note: The diagram demonstrates the network connectivity requirements
for a VNX array using 10 GbE network connections. A similar topology
should be created when using 1 GbE network connections.
The client access network is for users of the system, or clients, to
communicate with the infrastructure. The Storage Network is used for
communication between the compute layer and the storage layer. The
Management network is used for administrators to have a dedicated way
to access the management connections on the storage array, network
switches, and hosts.
Notes:
Some best practices call for additional network isolation for cluster traffic,
virtualization layer communication, and other features. These additional
networks can be implemented but they are not required.
If the Fibre Channel storage network option is picked for the deployment,
similar best practices and design principles apply.
