Single host deploiment without 10G NIC

[Major88]

Hello,

i want to deploy a single host for DR site. The node has no 10G network card, only 4x1G present in the configuration, validated by HPE.

The déployment manager demande to select 10g for Storage and Faderation network.

Is it possible to deploy a single node without 10 NIC?

Deployment Mnaganer 4.1.1.468

Simplivity 380Gen10

Omnistack 4.1.0.266

ESX 7.0.3

Thanks

Hi

from experience you must install a 10GB network card for

storage and federation and you can remove it once everything

is  working

Regards

Give a KUDO if this helps

Hi Major88

While it is technically possible to deploy a single node HPE SimpliVity cluster with only 1 Gbps network interfaces, it is not recommended. HPE SimpliVity recommends that each node in a cluster have at least two 10 Gbps network interfaces - one for storage traffic and one for federation traffic.

The reason for this recommendation is that HPE SimpliVity is designed to provide high-performance and low-latency data transfer between nodes in a cluster, and this is achieved by using high-speed network interfaces. By using only 1 Gbps network interfaces, you may experience lower performance and higher latency, which can impact the performance of your virtual machines and data protection operations.

If you still want to proceed with the deployment using only 1 Gbps network interfaces, you can try to select the 1 Gbps interfaces for storage and federation traffic during the deployment process. However, be aware that this configuration is not officially supported by HPE SimpliVity, and you may encounter issues or reduced performance.

Hope this helps.!!

Hi

the deployment manager will not continue if

you do not mark 10GB nics for storage and federation

so you must have physical adapter just for the installation

after you finish you can take it out.
