This is a 3-node cluster deployed with virtual storage. Each HCI node is equipped with 6 x 10G ports dedicated to HCI service communication networks, covering management, Edge(port group), storage, VXLAN(for VM east-west traffic), and other traffic planes.




Step procedure:


Step by step to build up a HCI cluster and setup an virtual storage
1.  HCI OS installation depending whether the server is sangfor aServer or OEM server

3. Configure the link aggregation eg. LACP/ static link aggregation, depending on the switch setting/ dependency
4. Configure the sub-interface on HCI for multiplexing (optional)
For my case, there are 6 x 10G ports in each HCI node, so I combined the edge and vxlan together by using subinterface feature) -> LACP for 2 ports and then create a subinterface on this LACP ports used for vxlan
5. Configure the communication network, including the management, overlay and edge etc..
