NetApp HCI Network Setup Guide
The below diagrams come for the HCI
Network Setup Guide - the important thing to note is that it is a requirement to have LACP (vPC)
for the Storage Node Bond10G (technically,
LACP is not a requirement, but it is highly recommended, and without it,
performance will be poor - so don’t even consider it for HCI test/demo
configurations.)
Note:
The below might be slightly out of date for NDE 1.4.

*vMotion
can share the same network as management. vMotion cannot share the iSCSI
subnet/VLAN.
