Cloud Director clusters.
Cloud Director Hardware and Software Requirements
Each server host in a Cloud Director cluster must meet certain software and hardware requirements. In
addition, a supported database must be available to all members of the cluster. Each cluster requires access to
a vCenter server, one or more ESX/ESXi hosts, and a vShield Manager host.
Supported vCenter, ESX/ESXi, and vShield Manager Versions
vCenter servers intended for use with Cloud Director must meet specific configuration requirements
n
vCenter networks intended for use as Cloud Director external networks or network pools must be
available to all hosts in any cluster intended for use by Cloud Director. Making these networks available
to all hosts in the datacenter simplifies the task of adding new hosts to Cloud Director.
n
DVS must be used for cross-host fencing and network pool allocation.
n
vCenter clusters used with Cloud Director must be configured to use automated DRS. Automated DRS
requires shared storage attached to all hosts in a DRS cluster.
