1.4.3 Admin LAN NIC Configuration

This section explains the admin LAN NIC configuration of physical L-Servers for NS Appliance.

It is necessary to configure the NICs which are used for the admin LAN of the physical L-Server for NS Appliance in a redundant configuration.

If NICs are not in a redundant configuration, NS Appliance creation will fail.

The combinations of NICs that can be configured in redundant configurations are as follows:
