How to deploy HyperFlex Edge Node without FI?

[RohitDhiman38183]

We have 3 HX Edge nodes without Fabric Interconnect but we do have Nexus 9k as TOR switches.

Can we build cluster with the help of HX data platform? If yes then how?

or

Will it be build only with Intersight On-prem because cloud option is not available for us?

Hi Rohit,

HyperFlex edge cluster is intended to be deployed without Fabric Interconnect. There are different use cases for an edge cluster and standard cluster (i.e with Fabric Interconnect). 

Edge cluster can be deployed using Intersight SaaS version, On-prem version or using HyperFlex Installer. Refer to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/hyperconverged_systems/HyperFlex_HX_DataPlatformSoftware/Edge_Deployment_Guide/b_HyperFlex_Edge_Deployment_Guide_4_0/m_deployment_options.html for more details.

Thanks
