● Watch this 2 minute video for step-by-step assistance in racking your HC5150D
node. And yes, it’s really that easy. As a note, this node is intended to be a two
person carry, so make sure to have someone to assist you during the racking
process!
Networking
● General
○ Review the HC3 Networking Guidelines and Recommendations for details
on switch requirements, recommended switches and cables, and
networking best practices.
● Public and Private System Networks
○ The HC3 system has two distinct physical networks in which it
participates. A public network provides a path to allow access to the HC3
web interface as well as access to VMs running on the system and is
known as the LAN network. A private network, known as the Backplane
network, is used for intra-system communication. This includes critical
system operations such as the mirroring of data blocks for redundancy
between the nodes. It is critical that the Backplane network is isolated to a
single HC3 system only (physically or through VLANs) to ensure system
stability and performance.
○ There are two NICs for both the LAN and Backplane network. These two
ports are bonded in an active/passive configuration. The “0” ports will
always be primary and the “1” ports will be secondary.
○ Below are the NIC layouts for the 1 GbE and 10 GbE HC2100 Series
hardware configurations.
