vCloud Air® Hybrid Cloud Manager™ Installation and Administration Guide

Verify the Minimum Installation Environment
Before the installation, ensure that you have the following resources in your on-premises vCenter and your vCloud Air
vDC.
On Premises
• An on-premises Virtual Center created with vSphere 5.5 Update 1 or above.
• Administrator access to the source Virtual Center and any resources you want to connect to the cloud.
• In the vCenter, enough disk space for Hybrid Cloud Manager and the appliances you install, as stated in Table 1, and
any replicas remaining from migration. See “Understanding Replication-Based Migration.”
• Sufficient IP addresses for the on-premises VMs provisioned during the installation. The minimum requirements for
each configuration are specified in “Use Cases.”
• Ports and firewalls opened as required.
In vCloud Air
• A vCloud Air Dedicated Cloud subscription account.
• Hybrid Networking Standard or Premium add-on service. See
http://vcloud.vmware.com/service-offering/hybrid-
cloud-manager. You can purchase the add-on with a purchase order, or you can use the VMware Subscription
Purchasing Program.
Purchasing the Hybrid Networking add-on service automatically opens a vCloud Air operations ticket that upgrades
your vCloud Air Edge Gateway to a version with Advanced Network Services feature-set (ANS). Hybrid Cloud
Manager cannot successfully install until the vCloud Air Edge Gateway within the VDC is upgraded to Advanced
Network Services edition and your My VMware account reports the Hybrid Networking add-on service status is
available.
• A virtual datacenter (vDC) with sufficient resources for the appliances you want to install and any virtual machines
you will migrate. You must know the vDC’s username and password, and its IP address, gateway, and DNS
information.
• The target vDC must have at least one available IP address for the Hybrid Cloud Gateway. The “Use Cases” section
estimates the number of IP addresses required for each use case.
Note: If your Dedicated Cloud does not have an available IP address, you can purchase one. Log
into vCloud Air, and from the Dashboard tab click on the target vDC. On the lower right, under
Related Links, click Purchase More Resources. When My VMware opens, click Purchase Add-
ons and add more IP addresses to your service ID. For more about IP addresses in vCloud Air,
see “Allocation of Public IP Addresses
.”
Verify Layer 2 Installation Requirements
To support Layer 2 extension, your vSphere vCenter must meet these requirements:
• Must have a vSphere Distributed Switch
(vDS). The distributed switch is available with vSphere Enterprise Plus
Edition.
