In the Metro installation steps, what is done after completing EZ-Setup on each cluster?

After completing EZ-Setup on each cluster in a Metro installation, the next important step is to configure WAN COM connections. This is essential as it establishes the required communication pathways between the VPLEX clusters located at different sites, ensuring that they can efficiently share data and replicate information over the wide area network. Proper configuration of these connections is critical for the Metro environment to function effectively, facilitating real-time data access and supporting high availability.

While checking the cluster health, exposing back-end storage, and creating meta-volumes are also vital steps in the overall configuration and management of the VPLEX system, they follow the WAN COM connections in order of operations. These subsequent steps rely on the successful establishment of WAN connectivity to function optimally, emphasizing the sequential nature of the installation process.
