Definitions

clusterid: Globally unique cluster ID. Ex: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0242ac110003". Must be either assigned by Portworx Enterprise or guaranteed to be unique.

mgtiface: Host ethernet interface used for Management traffic. Primarily used for statistics, configuration and control-path. Ex: "enp5s0f0"

dataiface: Host ethernet interface used for backend activity, such as replication and resync. Ex: "enp5s0f1"

kvdb: Array of endpoints used for the key-value database. Must be reachable and refer to etcd or consul. For 'etcd', an example would be:

"kvdb": [
"etcd:http://etcd0.yourdomain.com:4001",
"etcd:http://etcd1.yourdomain.com:4001",
"etcd:http://etcd2.yourdomain.com:4001"
]

storage: Array of devices to be used as part of the Portworx Storage Fabric. Includes optional debug_level flag (low, medium, high [default]) in the clause.

"storage": {
"devices": [
"/dev/nvme0n1",
"/dev/sdc",
"/dev/sdd"
],
