About this task
If you selected the two-cable network topology for compute nodes, you must use VLAN IDs for the vMotion and
storage networks for all compute and storage nodes in the deployment (VLAN IDs are optional for the
management networks).
In environments that require host-side VLAN tagging before deployment, if you have
configured VLAN IDs on compute and storage nodes so they are discoverable by the
NetApp Deployment Engine, ensure you use the correct VLANs when configuring network
settings in the NetApp Deployment Engine.
If you are deploying using a two-node or three-node storage cluster, you can complete IP address information
for Witness Nodes on the
Network Settings
page after using the easy form.
Steps
