![]() I’ll go over configuring the PVDC in the next blog. This is required in order to make the vCenter resources such as compute and storage available to tenants. Now that we have the vCenter connected, we can proceed to setting up and configuring the Provider Virtual Data Center (PVDC). Click Next.Ĭlick finish, and then wait for the vCenter to connect and show a status of Normal. On page 2, add the information for the NSX-V appliance. We already configured the lookup service, so we can leave that option selected here to provide the URL. On page 1 of the wizard, fill in the required information for the vCenter. On the top menu option to the right “vCenters”, click the Add button. Watch the task for successful completion below.Ĭlick on the menu again to the right of vCloud Director logo, and select the vSphere Resources. Once all of your information is added, click the Register button. ![]() Registering with vSphere Lookup Service enables vCloud Director to discover other services, and allows other services to discover this instance of vCloud Director. Then under Settings on the right select vSphere Services.Īfter clicking the “REGISTER” link in the upper right, we’ll be able to add the lookup service URL link for the vCenter we’ll connect to a little later. Log into the vCD provider interface, and switch to the Administrator view by clicking the menu to the right of vCloud Director logo. Today we will add the vSphere lookup service and the vCenter. In my last post, I walked through deploying additional appliances for database high availability ( here). This is a continuation of deploying VMware Cloud Director 10. In my next blog I’ll go over configuring the public address. ![]() For production deployments there would also be the need to setup signed certificates for the appliances. If this were a production deployment, we also find it necessary to configure a VIP/load balancer to place in front of the VCD appliances to handle traffic load. We still need to configure the public facing address. The end result should show a “Normal” for a status under the configured Provider VDCs.Īt this point, the provider side configuration is almost complete. Just monitor the recent tasks for task progress and completion. Make any adjustments, and click FINISH.īe patient as it can take some time to build the PVDC. On page 6, you are presented with a confirmation of the selected config. In my lab example, I have chosen the default selection. On, your mileage may vary depending how your environment is configured. On, the available storage policies configured in the vCenter that the tenants would use in this PVDC, will be available for selection here. ![]() Hardware compatibility is also configured here for the future tenants deployed to this PVDC. In this example I am using a lab, so I only have one available. This would be for both compute and storage. On page 3, you’ll see the available resources. On page 2, select the vCenter and click NEXT. In this example, I am connecting to my home lab. Give it a name and description meaningful to the resources the PVDC will be connected to. On page 1, you’ll have to fill in some general information about the PVDC. Select the Provider VDCs option in the menu on the left, and then “NEW” link to begin. Log into the vCD provider interface, and switch to the Cloud Resources view by clicking the menu to the right of vCloud Director logo. In this post I’ll go over adding a Provider Virtual Data Center (PVDC). In my last post, I walked through configuring the vSphere lookup service, and adding the vCenter ( here).
