Creating Resources for Network Services
• When you have completed all of the tasks in Step 7, click Next.
• If you do not wish to add networks or create a Community VDC, click Skip.
Registering a Datastore
Datastores that are discovered automatically during Connect Cloud Infrastructure must be registered
before they can be used in the Community VDC community and organization virtual data centers. A
single datastore can be used by one or more Virtual Data Centers.
Step 1 From the Wizard, choose Register Datastore.
Step 2 On the Register Datastore form, choose a datastore with a status of “Discovered” to be registered for use.
The form will populate with information specific to the datastore you chosen.
Step 3 Enter a friendly name and description (for example, the type of storage) for the datastore. (Optional)
Step 4 Click Submit Order.
Step 5 Click on the number in the Requisition Number field to display the details.
Step 6 Click Close when the status says Completed.
Creating a Service Network
Use the Add Network form to define a VLAN and subnet to use in the cloud system use, for user servers,
server management, or for use by the cloud infrastructure.
Tip If you have many hosts, when adding networks, be sure to choose the same port group for each host.
Step 1 From the Wizard, choose Create Service Network.
Step 2 On the Add Network form, from the drop-down choose a Cloud Infrastructure Type. Types include:
• Amazon EC2
• Cisco UCS Director
• Openstack Cloud Manager
• VMWare vCenter Server
• VMWare vCloud Director
Note Depending on the cloud infrastructure type you choose, you will then see a selection of different
fields populate the screen.
Step 3 Complete the cloud infrastructure fields as required for each type. For example, you may be asked to
provide any of the following (as well as other information):
• Network Name: Enter a short name for the network that will be shown to users in drop-down
selection lists.
