New Features for Cisco Smart PHY and Cisco Operations Hub 23.2

Feature Description

Infrastructure Improvements

Deploying Clusters on Network Based Storage Devices Using vSAN

You can deploy clusters to remote network-attached storage devices using vSAN.

Certificate Signing Requests

You can initiate the TLS Certificate creation process from Operations Hub. Once a certificate request is completed, you can download it and get it signed by an appropriate signing authority. Once signed, you can upload the certificate and override the default self-signed Ingress Certificate.

Single NIC for NB and SB communication for AIOs

By default, All-in-one clusters are deployed with two vNICs. One vNIC must be logically connected to a management network, while the other must be logically connected to the CIN. If you have a shared management and CIN network, you can optionally deploy an AIO cluster with a single vNIC.
