PRESTAGE IP During Cloud Deploy

Hi,

During the cloud deployment I am offered various choices for traffic. Is it possible to pre-stage S2D's "fictitious" IP addresses to make sure they take the IPs I want to give them?

Thanks for your help!

    @Samuele Provvedi , @Anveshreddy Nimmala ,

    The answer above is partially correct. While you can use your own IPs for the storage adapters, you must also disable the auto-IP feature to prevent Network ATC from assigning its own IPs. When deploying 23H2 from the portal, this is only possible by using an ARM template.

    Although, we do highly recommend using the auto-IP feature built into Network ATC for assigning the IP addresses to your storage adapters. Using this feature cuts down on the manual work necessary to assign and manage your own IPs. Since storage IP addresses do not need to be routable, these VLANs only live locally on the switches, so it does not matter if multiple clusters are using these VLANs for storage traffic. Also, the host will perform Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) to ensure two hosts do not use the same IP addresses.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello Samuele Provvedi

    Welcome to microsoft Q&A,Thankyou for posting your query here.

    Yes, it is possible to assign specific IP addresses to the virtual network adapters of S2D nodes in Azure Stack HCI.

    To "pre-stage" or ensure that specific IP addresses are assigned to your S2D cluster nodes, you can manually configure the IP addresses on each node's network interface that will be used for S2D traffic.

    This involves going into the network settings for each node and assigning the static IP addresses you wish to use for S2D traffic.

    Please refer this document for any help
