ℹ️ Info
The HPE IceLake platform “flips” the left side (facing rear of unit) nodes. VAST maps the locations of the High Speed ports in our software. Please pay careful attention to the management ports as they are mirrored left to right.
⚠️ Warning
Networking is configured on a per-CNode basis, it is possible for a chassis to have CNodes with differing configurations. If you are unsure of the configuration of a particular CNode, please contact VAST Support for assistance.
