Network Topology: Hybrid setup

For an environment containing both LOM and BMC ports, the provision tool needs to be run twice to correctly manage all servers in the network.

In a Hybrid Setup, the control plane and special nodes such as the head and login node are connected to the public network, while the iDRAC and the compute nodes use a shared LOM network.

  • Public Network (Blue line): This indicates that the control plane, head node, and login node is connected to the external public network.

  • Cluster Network (Green line): This indicates the admin network utilized by Omnia to provision the cluster nodes.

  • IB Network (Yellow line): The network used by the applications on the cluster nodes to communicate among each other.
