Site preparation for VxRail Appliance

Prior to VxRail initialization, we must complete the validation of network settings and the Domain Name System (DNS) settings for VxRail Appliance. Each VxRail series appliance includes a 10/25 Gb NDC and one iDRAC port. Each NDC is bundled with either four 10 Gb SFP+ ports or two 10/25 Gb SPF+ ports.
