Simplyblock requires a fully redundant network interconnect, implemented via a solution such as LACP or Static
10

LAG. Failing to provide that may cause data corruption or data loss in case of network issues. For more information

Installing simplyblock for production, requires a few components to be installed, as well as a couple of configurations
15
+
to secure the network, ensure the performance and data protection in the case of hardware or software failures.
16
+
17
+
Simplyblock provides a test script to automatically check your system's configuration. While it may not catch all
18
+
edge cases, it can help to streamline the configuration check. This script can be run multiple times during the
19
+
preparation phase to find missing configuration during the process.
20
+
21
+
```bash title="Automatically check your configuration"

## Before We Start
26
+
27
+
A simplyblock production cluster consists of three different types of nodes:
28
+
29
+
1._Management nodes_ are part of the control plane which managed the cluster(s). A production cluster requires at least **three nodes**.
30
+
2._Storage nodes_ are part of a specific storage cluster and provide capacity to the distributed storage pool. A production cluster requires at least **three nodes**.
31
+
3._Secondary nodes_ are part of a specific storage cluster and enable automatic fail over for NVMe-oF connections. A production cluster requires at least **one node**.
32
+
33
+
A single control plane can manage one or more clusters. If started afresh, a control plane must be set up before
34
+
creating a storage cluster. If there is a preexisting control plane, an additional storage cluster can be added
35
+
to it directly.
36
+
37
+
More information on the control plane, storage plane, as well as the different node types is available under
38
+
[Simplyblock Cluster](../../../architecture/concepts/simplyblock-cluster.md) in the architecture section.
39
+
40
+
## Network Preparation
41
+
42
+
Simplyblock recommends two individual network interfaces, one for the control plane and one for the storage plane.
43
+
Hence, in the following installation description, we assume two separated subnets. To install simplyblock in your
44
+
environment, you may have to adopt these commands to match your configuration.
