Getting Started with vCloud Director 1 The first time you log in to the vCloud Director Web console, the Home tab guides you through the steps to configure your installation.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide vSphere Resources vCloud Director relies on vSphere resources to provide CPU and memory to run virtual machines. In addition, vSphere datastores provide storage for virtual machine files and other files necessary for virtual machine operations. vCloud Director also utilizes vSphere distributed switches and vSphere port groups to support virtual machine networking. You can use these underlying vSphere resources to create cloud resources.
Chapter 1 Getting Started with vCloud Director Organization Virtual Datacenter Networks An organization virtual datacenter network is contained within a vCloud Director organization virtual datacenter and is available to all the vApps in the organization. An organization virtual datacenter network allows vApps within an organization to communicate with each other. You can connect an organization virtual datacenter network to an external network to provide external connectivity.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Catalogs Organizations use catalogs to store vApp templates and media files. The members of an organization that have access to a catalog can use the catalog's vApp templates and media files to create their own vApps. A system administrator can allow an organization to publish a catalog to make it available to other organizations. Organizations administrators can then choose which catalog items to provide to their users.
Chapter 1 Getting Started with vCloud Director Table 1‑1.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide What to do next If you have acquired new certificates for any other members of the vCloud Director server group, use this procedure to replace the existing certificates on those servers Set User Preferences You can set certain display and system alert preferences that take effect every time you log in to the system. You can also change the password for your system administrator account. Procedure 16 1 In the title bar of the Web console, click Preferences.
Adding Resources to vCloud Director 2 vCloud Director derives its resources from an underlying vSphere virtual infrastructure. After you register vSphere resources in vCloud Director, you can allocate these resources for organizations within the vCloud Director installation to use.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Open the Attach New vCenter Wizard Open the Attach New vCenter wizard to start the process of attaching a vCenter Server to vCloud Director. Procedure 1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and then click vCenters in the left pane. 2 Click the Attach New vCenter button. The Attach New vCenter wizard launches.
Chapter 2 Adding Resources to vCloud Director vCloud Director attaches the new vCenter Server and registers its resources for provider virtual datacenters to use. What to do next Assign a vShield for VMware vCloud Director license key in the vCenter Server. Assign a vShield License Key in vCenter After you attach a vCenter Server to vCloud Director, you must use the vSphere Client to assign a vShield for VMware vCloud Director license key.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide If you plan to add a resource pool that is part of a cluster that uses vSphere HA, make sure you are familiar with how vSphere HA calculates slot size. For more information about slot sizes and customizing vSphere HA behavior, see the VMware vSphere Availability Guide. Prerequisites n Verify that at least one vCenter Server is attached with an available resource pool to vCloud Director. The resource pool must be in a vCenter cluster configured to use automated DRS.
Chapter 2 Adding Resources to vCloud Director Add an External Network Add an external network to register vSphere network resources for vCloud Director to use. You can create organization virtual datacenter networks that connect to an external network. Prerequisites A vSphere port group is available. If the port group uses VLAN, it can use only a single VLAN. Port groups with VLAN trunking are not supported. VMware recommends using an auto-expanding static port group.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide vSphere VXLAN networks provide the following benefits. n Logical networks spanning layer 3 boundaries n Logical networks spanning multiple racks on a single layer 2 n Broadcast containment n Higher performance n Greater scale (up to 16 million network addresses) For more information about VXLAN in a vCloud environment, see the vShield Administration Guide.
Chapter 2 Adding Resources to vCloud Director Prerequisites Verify that one or more port groups are available in vSphere. The port groups must be available on each ESX/ESXi host in the cluster, and each port group must use only a single VLAN. Port groups with VLAN trunking are not supported. Procedure 1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Network Pools in the left pane. 2 Click Add Network Pool. 3 Select vSphere Port Group-backed and click Next. 4 Select a vCenter Server and click Next.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Set the MTU for a Network Pool Backed by Cloud Isolated Networks You can specify the maximum transmission units (MTU) that vCloud Director uses for a network pool that is backed by Cloud isolated networks. The MTU is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted in one packet before it is divided into smaller packets.
Creating and Provisioning Organizations 3 Organizations provide resources to a group of users and set policies that determine how users can consume those resources. Create an organization for each group of users that requires its own resources, policies, or both.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Understanding Allocation Models An allocation model determines how and when the provider virtual datacenter compute and memory resources that you allocate are committed to the organization virtual datacenter. Allocation Pool Allocation Model With the allocation pool allocation model, a percentage of the resources you allocate from the provider virtual datacenter are committed to the organization virtual datacenter.
Chapter 3 Creating and Provisioning Organizations Pay-As-You-Go Allocation Model With the pay-as-you-go allocation model, resources are committed only when users create vApps in the organization virtual datacenter. You can specify a percentage of resources to guarantee, which allows you to overcommit resources. You can make a pay-as-you-go organization virtual datacenter elastic by adding multiple resource pools to its provider virtual datacenter.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide 2 Name the Organization on page 28 Provide a descriptive name and an optional description for your new organization. 3 Specify the Organization LDAP Options on page 29 You can use an LDAP service to provide a directory of users and groups for the organization. If you do not specify an LDAP service, you must create a user account for each user in the organization. Only a system administrator can set LDAP options.
Chapter 3 Creating and Provisioning Organizations Specify the Organization LDAP Options You can use an LDAP service to provide a directory of users and groups for the organization. If you do not specify an LDAP service, you must create a user account for each user in the organization. Only a system administrator can set LDAP options. An organization administrator cannot modify LDAP options. For more information about entering custom LDAP settings, see “Configuring the System LDAP Settings,” on page 133.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Set the Organization Catalog Sharing, Publishing, and Subscription Policies Catalogs provide organization users with catalogs of vApp templates and media that they can use to create vApps and install applications on virtual machines. Catalogs can be shared between organizations in different instances of vCloud Director, between organizations in the same instance of vCloud Director, or remain accessible only within the host organization.
Chapter 3 Creating and Provisioning Organizations Configure Organization Lease, Quota, and Limit Settings Leases, quotas, and limits constrain the ability of organization users to consume storage and processing resources. Use these settings to prevent users from depleting or monopolizing an organization's resources. For more information about leases, see “Understanding Leases,” on page 25. Procedure 1 Select the lease options for vApps and vApp templates.
vCloud Director Administrator's Guide Procedure 1 Open the Allocate Resources Wizard on page 33 Open the Allocate Resources wizard to start the process of creating an organization virtual datacenter for an organization. 2 Select a Provider Virtual Datacenter on page 33 An organization virtual datacenter obtains its compute and storage resources from a provider virtual datacenter.
