Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’ — Virtualization Delivery
70 Electra VS - Version 05.10
User Manual - Rev. A
Check the recommended VLAN for virtualization in the Network IP
document available in the DVD-ROM. Two LAN are mandatory, the
others are optional:
 Mandatory: Management LAN, System Private LAN

Optional: Data In LAN, Data Out LAN, Internal Data LAN

The VMPG/LAN number is not limited.

The limitation comes from the internal networks: Only one
System Private LAN in the Electra VS and one Internal Data (per
node)
 The link between a vmnic and a VMPG is achieved with the help of a
vSwitch.
Each vSwitch must be associated to a different physical adapter.
At Virtual machine level, associate each physical interface to one VMPG
needed in the Electra VS. For example, Network adapter 2 (used for
Electra VS Management LAN) will be eth1 at Electra VS OS layer, and
NIC2 in Electra VS GUI.
During the deployment of the Electra VS VM, the networks of the VM will
be associated to the ones configured in the ESXi, so use explicit names
such as: VM Network CC, VM Network System Private, VM Network Data
In, VM Network Data Out, VM Network Internal Data.
Bonding shall be configured at hypervisor level for at least System
Private Network and Internal Data network.
In this example, Network System Private is connected to vmnic0 and
vmnic1 while Network Internal Data is connected to vmnic2 and vmnic3.
From the node point of view, physical interfaces are different.
