Page 9: Getting Started With Cloud Director
14 Overview of Cloud Director Administration VMware Cloud Director is a software product that provides the ability to build secure, multi-tenant clouds by pooling virtual infrastructure resources into virtual datacenters and exposing them to users through Web- based portals and programmatic interfaces as a fully-automated, catalog-based service.
Page 10 Most users with access to a vApp can create and manage their own vApp networks. Working with vApp networks is described in the VMware Cloud Director User's Guide. VMware, Inc.
Page 11: Log In To The Web Console
Log In to the Web Console You can access the Cloud Director user interface by using a Web browser. For a list of supported browsers, see the VMware Cloud Director Installation and Configuration Guide. Prerequisites You must have the system administrator user name and password that you created during the system setup.
Page 12: Preparing The System
Copy the Sysprep binary files for each operating system to a convenient location on a Cloud Director server host. Each operating system requires its own folder. Folder names are case-sensitive. Guest OS Copy Destination Windows 2000 SysprepBinariesDirectory /win2000 Windows 2003 (32-bit) SysprepBinariesDirectory /win2k3 Windows 2003 (64-bit) SysprepBinariesDirectory /win2k3_64 VMware, Inc.
Page 13: Replace A Microsoft Sysprep Deployment Package
SysprepBinariesDirectory command. For example, /opt/vmware/cloud-director/deploymentPackageCreator/createSysprepPackage.sh / root/MySysprepFiles Use the command to restart the Cloud cell. service vmware-vcd restart If you have multiple Cloud cells, copy the package and properties file to all Cloud cells. scp /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/vcloud_sysprep.properties /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sysprep.cab root@ next_cell_IP :/opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization Restart each Cloud cell to which you copy the files.
Page 14: Set User Preferences
Cloud Director Administrator's Guide If you have multiple Cloud cells, stop each cell and copy the package and properties file to each cell. scp /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/vcloud_sysprep.properties /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sysprep.cab root@ next_cell_IP :/opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization Restart each Cloud cell to which you copy the files. Set User Preferences You can set certain display and system alerts preferences that take effect every time you log in to the system.
Page 15: Adding Resources To Cloud Director
For information about Cloud Director system requirements and supported versions of vCenter Server and ESX/ESXi see the VMware Cloud Director Installation and Configuration Guide. Attach a vCenter Server Attach a vCenter Server to make its resources available for use with Cloud Director. After you attach a vCenter Server, you can assign its resource pools, datastores, and networks to a provider virtual datacenter.
Page 16 Before you attach the new vCenter Server, review the settings you entered. Procedure Review the settings for the vCenter Server and vShield Manager. (Optional) Click Back to modify the settings. Click Finish to accept the settings and attach the vCenter Server. VMware, Inc.
Page 17: Adding Cloud Resources
Enter the license key, enter an optional label for the key, and click OK. Use the vShield for VMware Cloud Director license key you received when you purchased Cloud Director. You can use this license key in multiple vCenter Servers.
Page 18: Add An External Network
Cloud Director Administrator's Guide If you plan to add a resource pool that is part of a cluster that uses VMware HA, you should make sure you are familiar with how VMware HA calculates slot size. For more information about slot sizes and customizing VMware HA behavior, see the VMware vSphere Availability Guide.
Page 19: Network Pools
You can create a network pool that is backed by Cloud isolated networks. A Cloud isolated network spans hosts, provides traffic isolation from other networks, and is the best source for vApp networks. An isolation-backed network pool does not require pre-existing port groups in vSphere. Prerequisites An available vSphere vNetwork distributed switch. VMware, Inc.
Page 20 Review the network pool settings and click Finish. What to do next You can now create an organization network that is backed by the network pool or associate the network pool with an organization vDC and create vApp networks. VMware, Inc.
Page 21 When both the virtual machine guest operating system and the underlying physical infrastructure are configured with the standard MTU (1500 bytes), then the VMware network isolation protocol will fragment frames. To avoid frame fragmentation, you should increase the MTU to at least 1524 bytes for both the network pool and the underlying physical network.
