VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide

Compute Hardware Requirements

The management cluster requires at least one physical host powerful enough to host the virtual machines that

will be deployed. Two ESXi hosts were used for redundancy in the creation of this guide.

The resource cluster requires four physical hosts of sucient power to host two standard Linux virtual machines

at a minimum.

Network Requirements

One physical network is utilized in this guide. This network must have connectivity to external systems used for

testing as well as software download.

The external network must have a pool of IP addresses able to be used for connectivity. It also must have a

Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) server located on it that is able to provide DHCP services as

needed. In addition, it must support multicast packets.

Four IP addresses are required for each of the main virtual machine components, in addition to the addresses

used by the physical hosts themselves. Each address must be resolvable through DNS by a Fully Qualiﬁed

Domain Name (FQDN). The following table lists the relevant information used for this guide.

FQDN ROLE NOTES

vc-l-01a.corp.local vCenter Server

to be attached to

vCloud Director

One IP address is required.

vcd-01a.corp.local vCloud Director vCloud Director requires two

network interfaces. One is used

for HTTP trac; the other is used

for the console proxy trac.

The FQDN name should resolve

to the HTTP interface.

vsm-01a.corp.local vCloud Networking and Security

Manager

One IP address is required.

Storage Requirements

The environment used for this guide has three datastores, each 100GB in size, for a total of 300GB of storage

available. They are conﬁgured as shared datastores that are available to all hosts used in the evaluation

environment. Various types of storage, including SSD and SAS disks, back these datastores. Although having

dierent types of storage available is not required, it enables users to create multiple tiers of service oerings

based upon the storage type.

To complete the procedures presented in this guide, users must have a minimum of 100GB of storage in a shared

datastore accessible by the hosts in the resource cluster. If they want to deploy a highly available management

cluster, they also must have shared storage accessible by the hosts in the management cluster.

vCloud Director requires that vSphere DRS be enabled in fully automated mode. This requires that shared

storage be attached to all of the hosts, so users must ensure that the storage they employ is visible from all of

the hosts in the resource cluster.
