Verify that at least one vSphere machine component exists in the design canvas.
Procedure
1 Click Network & Security in the Categories section to display the list of available network and
security components.
2 Drag an On-Demand Load Balancer component onto the design canvas.
3 Enter a component name in the ID text box to uniquely label the component in the design canvas.
4 Select a machine name from the Machine drop-down menu.
The list contains only vSphere machine components in the active blueprint.
5 Select a NIC and vSphere machine to load balance from the Network adapter drop-down menu.
The list contains NICs that are defined on the selected vSphere machine component.
6 Select a VIP network from the VIP Network drop-down menu.
7 (Optional) Enter the VIP address for the NIC from the IP Address.
The default setting is the static IP address that is associated with the VIP network. You can specify
another IP address or an IP address range. By default, the next available IP address is allocated for
VIP from the network profile. You can only specify an IP address when VIP is created on a NAT
network.
8 In the Virtual servers section, select the check box next to each service that you want to load balance.
Service options include HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP.
9 (Optional) Accept or edit the port, algorithm, health check interval, response timeout, and service
monitor URL for each selected service.
10 Enter the address for the selected service in the URL for HTTP service text box.
There is only a single URL available for the HTTP service control for each load balancer.
The URL that you enter is used for service health checks. The URL for HTTP service value is not
used to redirect network traffic.
Enter the address URL for which to redirect HTTP traffic. For example, you can direct traffic from
http://myweb.com to https://myweb.com. The value that you enter must match the value specified in
the HTTP redirect URL setting in the NSX application.
11 Click Save to save the current blueprint configuration or click Finish to save and exit the blueprint.
The configured settings are available on the Network tab in the associated vSphere machine component.
Using Containers Network Components in the Design Canvas
You can add one or more Containers network components to the design canvas and configure their
settings for vSphere machine components in the blueprint.
You can add the containers.ipam.driver and containers.network.driver to the component when
you add it to the blueprint.
