Procedure
1 On the Network Mapping page, choose the vSphere networks that will carry traffic for the two Data
Director Networks.
If you use the Express installation, map the vCenter Network and Web Console Network to the same
vSphere Network.
Data Director Network Description
vCenter Network
The vCenter Network carries management traffic between vCenter Server
and the Data Director Management Server. Select the vSphere Network that
you decided to use for this traffic.
Web Console Network
The Web Console Network carries traffic between Web clients and the Data
Director Management Server. Select the vSphere Network that you decided
to use for this traffic.
2 Click Next to continue.
Specify Network Properties
The Web Management console requires a static IP address or FQDN. To access the Web Management console,
point a web browser to this address.
If you want to use the Express setup, you must assign a static IP address for use by the Web Management
console. If you assign a FQDN, the Express setup option is disabled, and you must use the Advanced setup.
Prerequisites
n
Plan the network setup for your environment. See the vFabric Data Director Worksheets.
n
Have an IP address that you can assign to the Web Management console.
n
(Optional) If DNS is enabled and you want to use a FQDN for the Web Management console, have the IP
address of the DNS server and a FQDN to assign to the Web Management console.
Procedure
1 Enter the IP address to use with the Web Management console.
If using a FQDN, leave the IP address as 0.0.0.0 and enter the FQDN in the Fully Qualified Domain
Name text box.
2 If you entered a static IP address, enter a valid netmask.
3 (Optional) Enter the IP address of the DNS server.
If the vCenter Server or any ESXi host is resolved using a FQDN, you must enter a DNS address.
4 (Optional) Enter the FQDN to use with the Web Management console.
The use of a FQDN requires DDNS in the Web Console network.
5 Click Next to continue.
Record the IP address or FQDN you assigned to the Web Management console. You will use this address to
access the Web Management console using a web browser.
