Creating Matrix infrastructure orchestration service templates
In this case, each participating cluster (VXLAN-Cluster-1, VXLAN-Cluster-2) can see only its corresponding dvPort Group
created in vCenter to realize VXLAN Network. And since each dvPortGroup is shown as a separate network in Matrix
infrastructure orchestrator hence, in order to deploy VMs on both clusters, a user should create separate Matrix service
templates with corresponding network. For e.g to deploy VMs over VXLAN network (VXLAN-Wire1) on VXLAN-Cluster-1
Matrix service template should be created with network vxw-dvs-243-virtualwire-8-sid-5000-VXLAN-Wire1 and to deploy
VMs on VXLAN-Cluster-2 Matrix service template should be created with network vxw-dvs-246-virtualwire-8-sid-5000-
VXLAN-Wire1.
Validation in Matrix OE, VMware vCenter and vShield Manager
The User can monitor the result of the service request provisioning in the Request Details section by clicking on Requests
tab in Matrix infrastructure orchestration. The network attached to an existing Matrix service can be viewed and verified
by clicking on the Services tab in Matrix and then selecting the service and clicking on Details button as shown below.
