Launch the NDE UI
NetApp HCI uses a storage node management network IPv4 address for initial access to the NDE. As a best
practice, connect from the first storage node.
Prerequisites
• You already assigned the initial storage node management network IP address manually or by using
DHCP.
• You must have physical access to the NetApp HCI installation.
Steps
1. If you do not know the initial storage node management network IP, use the Terminal User Interface (TUI),
which is accessed via keyboard and monitor on the storage node or use a USB stick.
For details, see Accessing the NetApp Deployment Engine.
2. If you do know the IP address, from a web browser, connect to the Bond1G address of the primary node
via HTTP, not HTTPS.
Example: http://<IP_address>:442/nde/
Deploy NetApp HCI with the NDE UI
1. In the NDE, accept the prerequisites, check to use Active IQ, and accept license agreements.
2. Optionally, enable Data Fabric File Services by ONTAP Select and accept the ONTAP Select license.
3. Configure a new vCenter deployment. Click Configure Using a Fully Qualified Domain Name and enter
both the vCenter Server Domain Name and DNS Server IP address.
It is strongly recommended to use the FQDN approach for vCenter installation.
4. Review that the inventory assessment of all nodes completed successfully.
The storage node that is running the NDE is already checked.
5. Select all nodes and click Continue.
6. Configure network settings. Refer to the NetApp HCI Installation Discovery Workbook for the values to use.
7. Click the blue box to launch the easy form.
