Chapter 7 Configuring Cisco IAC With the Wizard
Setting System-Wide Services and Provisioning
Note Devices which you have discovered and then register are those devices which you want dynamically
created VLANS (by Cisco IAC) to be propagated to. Therefore, register a device if you want Cisco IAC
to configure the VLAN on it and choose them when creating the network POD.
Creating Compute PODs
Use the Create POD service to register an installed compute POD (Point Of Delivery) and choose the
cloud infrastructure platform elements that manage its resources.
Note There is a 1-to-1 mapping between datacenters and PODs (one between DataCenter and Compute POD;
refer to the object model). If the drop-down list is empty, all available datacenters have been associated
with a POD.
Note Multiple data centers are supported through multiple Compute PODs. Multiple Compute PODs can
reference the same network POD.
Step 1 From the Wizard, choose Create Compute POD.
Step 2 On the Create Compute POD form:
• Enter a new short name and a full description for the Compute POD.
• Choose your Cloud Infrastructure Type, such as VMware vCenter Server.
Note There are other infrastructure types beyond VMware vCenter Server used in this example.
• Choose the Network POD instance that serves in this POD.
• Choose the vCenter Instance.
• Choose the Datacenter.
• Choose UCS Manager.
Step 3 Click Submit Order.
Step 4 Click on the number in the Requisition Number field to display the details.
Step 5 Click Close when the status says Completed.
Setting System-Wide Services and Provisioning
On the STEP 6 panel of the Wizard, you choose the system-wide services to offer and enter critical
information for provisioning the cloud servers, such as network domain name and default time zone.
When you have completed Step 6, click Next.
