a Type the name of the cluster.
NOTE If the cluster does not exist, the workflow creates it.
b Select whether to enable distributed resource scheduling (DRS) and high availability (HA) for the
cluster.
c Type the name of the NFS-based datastore to share with the other ESX hosts of the vCloud.
d Type the server IP or server name of the NFS-based datastore.
e Type the name of the shared folder inside the NFS-based datastore.
7 Specify the ESX host options.
a Type an IP address of the ESX host to be added to the cluster.

8 Select whether to create a provider vDC that is backed by the attached ESX host.
If you select Yes, specify the provider vDC options.
a Type a name and a description of the provider vDC.
b Select whether to enable the provider vDC.
9 Click Submit to run the workflow.
The ESX host is attached to one vCenter Server host inside the vCloud and it is included in one cluster inside
the vCenter Server host. If the cluster does not exist, the workflow creates it. An existing NFS shared datastore
is attached to the ESX host. After the ESX host is ready, you can create a provider vDC inside the vCloud. The
new ESX host backs the new provider vDC.
Run the Run a Full Provisioning Cycle Workflow
You can run a workflow to configure the infrastructure on a vCloud Director instance.
The workflow performs the following actions.
n
Attaches an existing vCenter Server to the vCloud Director instance.
n
Creates a new provider vDC backed by an existing resource pool from the vCenter Server.
n
Prepares all ESX hosts from the provider vDC.
n
Creates a new provider network backed by an existing network from the vCenter Server.
n
Adds a new organization.
n
Adds a new organization vDC to the organization backed by the provider vDC.
n
Adds a new bridged organization network to the organization backed by the provider network.
n
Adds a new catalog to the organization.
