vCloud Air® Hybrid Cloud Manager™ Installation and Administration Guide
Page 14
• When installed, the on-premises L2 Concentrator service appliance must have access to a vNIC port and any vLANs
you want to stretch.
• If you choose to stretch a network over the public internet or your own VPN (on an alternate path, not the Hybrid
Cloud Gateway) then the L2C VM in your vCloud Air vDC also requires an IP address. If your architecture specifies
multiple L2Cs, each must have an IP address. You must know the remote IP address before you configure the L2C.
Verify the vCloud Air Edge Gateway Upgrade
To ensure support for Hybrid Cloud Manager you must log into your vCloud Air account and upgrade the target vCloud
Air gateway to support Advanced Networking Services. This assumes you have already purchased the Hybrid Networking
add-on service, and its status is “available,” as described in “Verify the Minimum Installation Environment” for vCloud
Air.
Note: Hybrid Cloud Manager only requires the upgraded Edge Gateway. Your Edge Gateway must be
upgraded to Advanced Networking before you install Hybrid Cloud Manager.
Follow the steps in Upgrade an Edge Gateway to Advanced Networking Services
(ignore the Advanced Networking
Service license prerequisite).
Install the vSphere Web Client Integration Plug-in
You must install the vSphere Web Client Integration Plug-in. With the vSphere Web Client you can use a browser to
connect to a vCenter Server system and manage an ESXi host.
The Hybrid Cloud Manager is delivered as an open virtualization archive (OVA) file. To install an OVA file, the vSphere
Web Client must have the client integration plug-in installed. See the documentation or the video for this task:
• Version 5.5u1: Documentation | Video
• Version 6: Documentation and Video
Installing and Configuring Hybrid Cloud Manager
This section explains how to deploy and configure the Hybrid Cloud Manager.
Install the Hybrid Cloud Manager Appliance
This procedure installs the Hybrid Cloud Manager appliance in your on-premises vCenter.
1. Log into My VMware and download
the Hybrid Cloud Manager OVA file from the product download page. Take note
of the OVA’s MD5 to verify the integrity of the file, then do an MD5 checksum after the file has been downloaded.
2. Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
3. In the Home tab Inventories list, click the vCenter icon.
Under Inventory Trees, click Hosts and Clusters.
Expand the hierarchy to show the Datacenters.
4. Right-click on the target datacenter and select Deploy OVF Template from the context menu.
It may take a few seconds for the Deploy OVF Template option to be displayed.
