1.1.1
Multicast traffic
Multicast traffic: HyperScale uses multicast for clustering and HA, so the management and storage
networks must be configured to allow multicast network traffic. Refer to your network switch
documentation for information about enabling multicast.
On most switches IGMP must be enabled, but IGMP snooping must be disabled on the network or VLAN
for the HyperScale management and storage networks. There is no need to disable IGMP snooping as a
global setting on the switch. Alternatively, configure the IGMP snooping querier—this is recommended if
there is other multicast traffic.
HyperScale 2.2.2.d
: Peer-to-peer communication is used for clustering
instead of multicast, so the requirement for multicast and disabled IGMP
snooping on the management network is removed. However, the storage
network still requires multicast to support HyperScale HA.

Install the hardware appliance
To install the hardware appliance:
1.
Rack the system.
2.
Connect power and networking cables:
•
2 (minimum = 1) x 1Gbps per node for the management network.
•
2 (minimum = 1) x 10Gbps per node for the storage network.
If you are using VLANs for your management or storage network, the VLAN tag must be
configured in the networking switch on the appropriate ports. The HyperScale installation wizard
does not apply any VLAN tag to the hypervisor-based or software appliance-based virtual
switches.
The Atlantis HyperScale installer automatically creates bonded networks for the storage and
management networking. This provides fault tolerance for failed network ports associated with
network switch failures.
If you are connecting only one physical management or one physical storage network per node,
refer to the following table to connect the correct physical port.

On each system, power on the system and enter the BIOS to set the remote access iLO IP
address.
