Prior to VxRail 7.0.350 ​both Management Network and vCenter Server Network distributed virtual port groups (DvPG) had a requirement to be on the same subnet & vLAN during day1 deployment. From VxRail 7.0.350 it is now possible to define a separate subnet & vLAN ID for the vCenter Server network during deployment.  Thus allowing for the vCenter Server network to be on the same or different network as the Management network. ​

  • Management Network DvPG = ESXi Management VMkernel Interfaces.
  • vCenter Server Network DvPG = vCenter server, VxRail Manager.

The example VxRail deployment below displays:

  • Management Network using subnet 192.1.21.0/24 & VLAN 121
  • vCenter Server Network using subnet 192.1.20.0/24 & VLAN 120
