vCloud Director 5.5 device - limits

• vCloud Director 1.5 device console connection is not displayed

  I have deployed vCloud Director 1.5 device in the private network. At is the configuration of the network. I ping the IP of the vCloud Director, I can access the console running on port 5480.

  https://192.168.2.38:5480 / It works.

  However, based on the rating guide, I guess to be able to do the initial Setup by access via:

  https://192.168.2.38/

  This connection cannot be configured. I have the connection to the device command line console, and run netstat - year, I don't see any process listening on port 443.

  Did I missed?

  It's strange, like the vCD device is virtually a plug-and-play operation.  Just deploy it and connect.  A couple of thoughts here...

  First, we focus on the IP addresses, you use when you configure the vCD device...  The deployment of the device, it will ask you for two IP addresses for the "network 1" and "network 2". "."  The lesser of these two IP addresses, this is what will be used for your HTTP and the higher numbered IP address will be for the Proxy of the Console.  Your right, however, it will specifically prompt you for one or the other.

  Second, if you use the device, you should not run the script configures.  The unit will take care of this for you.  Only, you would run the script configures if you were installing the binary real VCD.

  Finally, regarding your inability to you connect...  What it's like, you have the operational services.  You could also check this by using the chkconfig--list command.  From there, I try and divide the question to determine if it is a problem with connectivity, services that run on the device, or maybe even your browser.  To begin with, I would try using a different web browser than what you using your.  Normally, this should not be a problem, but it excludes the case where you have made any browser specific configurations that will be impossible to connect.  Since you know that the process of vCD are rising and running and you can access the host, then I would check to see if maybe that's a problem with just the SSL connectivity.  Once again, it would be strange if you were using the vCD device, but it's just another step to validate, right?  I know how make this the easiest would be to use openssl (which you can get for Windows or Linux).  I would just try a command like:

  #openssl s_client -connect vcd_ip:443

  and see if your able to establish an SSL connection with the cell of vCD.  Of course, you can always check the logs too.

  Hope some of these ideas help...

• vCloud Director Scalability limits / maximum of Configuration

  I look around for a maximum of config or scalability guide for VCD. Google shows that at some point there is a KB article for this (1029345) called 'VMware vCloud Director scalability limits' but it seems to have been deleted.

  Where can I find the official word on maximum rates of config?

• vRealize device Orchestrator 6.0.3 and vCenter 5.5 5.6 U3/vCloud Director

  Hello world

  I have a few questions on the compatibility between vRO 6.0.3 and vCenter vCloud Director 5.6 and 5.5:

  In vCenter Orchestrator 5.5.2 I plugin to connect the vCO to vCenter (version 5.5.2.1875635):

  

  1. in new vRO 6.0.3 for configuration I can not find this plugin, but when I checked the news of plug-ins I found a plugin vCenter (version vCenter Server 6.0.2.2995112). But how can I connect vRO 6.0.3 vCenter 5.5 (only by the workflow?).

  

  2. a supplementary door on vSphere Web Client integration with vRO. To do this properly first of all I must use SSO authentication mode? It won't work with LDAP authentication?

  3. anyone know if vRO works closely with vCloud Director 5.6? I found 5.5.1.2 plugin, but using this plugin, I can not connect to vCD (in vCO 5.5.2 I have no problem).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Hello

  (1) Yes, plugin configuration is workflow (this is the approach recommended new plug-ins; the old configuration of Web UI is deprecated and will be removed at some point).

  (2) only the SSO mode is supported; LDAP won't work. Note that the UNIQUE authentication token is acquired in the name of the user logged in vSphere client to Web, so you must make sure that this user has enough permissions to connect to vRO.

  (3) it should be newer versions of this plugin, and compatibility matrix showing which plugin version is compatible with given the vCD. Don't know where it is, however.

• How VPN from my PC at home to my network of vCloud Director?

  Greetings.

  I would like to than VPN from my home to my vCloud network office. I have a vDC on vCloud Director 1.5 (offers my provider, I know it's outdated), and it is connected to the internet with a static external IP address - 203.59*.x.x. The vDC has 2 virtual machines.

  -J' did some reading and found where to configure VPN site to site network properties. After clicking on "Activate VPN site-to-site", what do I do next? If I add > remote network, I'm supposed to fill my 'peer IP' - that is the IP assigned randomly my ADSL modem gets to the internet service provider? It feels useless, because it changes whenever I'm in again. What is my "door of peers"? Is it my home router, 10.1.1.1?

  -In addition, how one configures the VPN dialer on the desktop itself? When I tried it, it prompted me to add a user name and a password, but there was no requirement these when I enabled VPN on vCloud Director.

  The documentation, I found online about this reference to vCloud Director 5.1, which is not what I use, or difficult for me to understand. A guide step by step would be great. Long story short, I have no idea of what I'm doing and could use some help. Thank you.

  Site to another looks to fill two networks via VPN.  This config page you are looking at is saying connect this vShield edge gateway to another VPN device at a remote location.  the? is the IP at the remote location configuration.

  I don't think it's like a PPTP or OpenVPN connection as you would get on DD - WRT or something like that.  It's just a site to join sites, not Client Server (the server, you are the customer).  Although it may be possible, I did not do.

• External network to Vcloud Director.

  Hello

  Why are external network created in the Vcloud directory (I read that it is used to connect Vcloud Director to the outside world). What exactly will be the outside world, and if I don't want to connect the vcloud Director to any other network, I can't ignore the creation of the external network?

  Kind regards

  Vikram kumar. P

  Yes, it's fine.  If you want a completely encapsulated environment, you cannot use SSH/RDP to access systems.  You must use the VMRC for access, and you will need to install the software of the ISO in the catalog.

  It can be limiting, but works well for a completely confined environment.

• vCloud Director agent 1.5 and 5.0 ESX install

  So I was stuck on this problem all day. I have install a LABORATORY VC, vCloud Director on ANY 1.5 and imported the vShield device. 2 guests can see both the same two LUN 1 TB. In VC is all looks good, but the question is now, I cannot prepare my 2 hosts. I have rebuilt the 4 times each. Both hosts are in an active cluster with DRS. I get the following error in vCloud Director:

  "Cannot prepare host."
  

  
  

  Failure occurred during the preparation of the host 'esxi2 '.
  -esxi2
  -esxi2

  I tried to force a manual installation:

  / var/log # esxcli software install--force d /opt/vmware/vcloudagent-1.5.0-453916.zip vib
  Result of the installation
  Message: The Operation completed successfully.
  Restart required: false
  VIBs installed: VMware_bootbank_vcloud - agent_1.5.0 - 453916
  VIBs deleted:
  VIBs ignored:

  But then goes to vCD, it is not ready... I tried everything I can think of.

  Logfiles which I need to sift through on the host to submit more information about why the TI of fails?

  Thank you!

  even if you manually install the VIB, you always run the step 'prepare' vcloud Director.  VIB itself is just a module, and it will be not configured correctly until you run the action to prepare vcloud.

  Please make sure you have a persistent scratch location, if it was a compact installation.  If you are on an SD card or a USB storage, make sure that it happens soon enough to process the download and install it in a minute or two... or it's a timeout.

  either elsewhere newspapers that you would need to look at are the vcloud-container - debug.log (from the time of the State of the error), and perhaps the esx host logs in case there is a Setup error.

  See you soon,.

• vShield Edge balancer to load within vCloud Director?

  Hi all

  I had a long week, installation and configuration vCloud Director. So far, it looks great.

  However, I wanted to create a paralytic with 2 web servers and a LoadBalancer (vShield Edge device) in front of them. I just don't seem to be able to find anything about how I activate on the web site of vCloud Director. I can do the NAT and firewall, but balancing is missing ... I'm sure it's there somewhere, I'm just not see it!

  Can someone point me to the right direction?

  Bgrds,

  Finnzi

  This requires the additional license for vShield edge and configure vShield to vCenter PLugin.  There is no user interface in vCD interface to configure the load balaning VSE again.  1.5 introduces the possibility to configure VPN (if authorized), through vCD, but not the LB function again.

• Can't no hierarchy of vCloud Director

  Hi all

  I have configure vCenter Chargeback 1.6 (1.6.0.0 - 351155) and vCloud Director 1.01 (1.0.1 - 356485), two of them are the last version that I downloaded from the vmware Web site.

  I installed vCloud Director Collector but Chargeback cannot load the vCloud Director organization hierarchies.

  Is there anyone, who successfully of Chargeback configuration with vCloud Director?

  I have attached the log file of vCloud datacollector.

  Thank you

  Can you try a connection in the chargeback database or database vCloud by using a client?

  The log shows, connect to the oracle database is not set because of the limited number of connections.

  Might help, check out this link--> http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=898395.

  In short:

  Select * from v$ session;
  ALTER SYSTEM SET PROCESSES = 500 SCOPE IS SPFILE;.
  ALTER SYSTEM SET SESSIONS IS 500 SCOPE = SPFILE;.

  This should be, but to be able to connect as sysdba or system, you must restart the listener, only if you are not able to connect.

  Make sure you are able to connect to a database using sqlplus or sqldeveloper clients, and then restart the data collector.

• The transfer server storage shared for vcloud Director cells

  Hello

  I'm building a cluster of vCloud Director (3 guests) in our environment, but I was wondering about transfer server shared storage that is required for downloads and uploads the data among all cells, here is that excerpts from the Director Cloud installation guide for the same

  ==============================================================================================================

  To provide temporary storage for uploads and downloads, shared storage must be accessible to all hosts in a cluster of clouds Director. The amount of storage to transfer server must have permissions writable by root. Each host must ride this storage $VCLOUD_HOME

  / Data/Transfer (in general transfer/opt/vmware/cloud-director/data/transfer). Uploads and downloads are the storage for a short time (a few hours a day), but because the transferred images can be large, allocate at least several hundred gigabytes at this volume.

  =============================================================================================================

  I have some questions related to this,

  1. can I use storage iSCSI for this "shared forwarding server storage" or only a NFS storage will do.

  2 storage is recommended according to the prospective of VMware.

  3. If anyone has references to the configuration for this storage documentation, please let me know.

  Thank you

  Keryan

  It is not explicitly stated above all because there are several options and alternatives.

  NFS is by far the easiest and also the easiest to wear but CIFS, for example, would work.  Like any other technique of file-sharing system that makes the blob of data readable and accessible in writing of all cells at the same time.

  iSCSI is not enough to really say yes or no to the subject.  If you have a shared several cells and do iscsi lun on it ext3 file system, then the cells will tear system metadata of file into pieces in a relatively short deadline, because ext3fs is not designed to be multi-homed.

  This isn't a limitation of iSCSI, or a lun SAN, or tours with virtual machines to share the same file several VMS vmdk, is put on top of this file system.

• MCAK for vCloud Director 5.1

  Hello

  We use the most recent MultiCloud since vCloud Director but now look at upgrading to vCenter vCloud Director 5.1.

  I had seen a mention of help soon with version 5.1 of vCD, but did not see if it is available, or in what version it will be.

  Would you be able to give an indication of support for this version, please?

  Kind regards

  Paul

  You should have no problem with the latest version of MCAK vCloud Director 5.1. All the features of the IAC has been verified. What is not yet supported is 5.1 VCD API, so you would not be able to take advantage of the new features of the product/API with the adapter IN VCD (although you can always write your own custom using HTTP requests process to call the new REST API directly).

• What is the smallest model of VAPP available that can be used with vCloud Director?

  Hi all

  I was on the hunt to find the smallest operating system which can be used for demonstration purposes.

  I want to be able to quickly create vApps so a small footprint would be ideal.

  What guys do you use?

• VMware vCloud Director with the NSX Manager installation process.

  Hello world

  I recently planned to deploy VMware vCloud Director (so NSX Manager will be deployed, as part of the process) on an existing environment (existing virtual machines running, virtual switches,...).

  Customers use their virtual machines because they are in production.

  I was wondering if the deployment / installation of NSX Manager would cause no downtime or disturb the workflows running or even break the VM interconnections?

  Thanks in advance,

  Lawrence B.

  I looked at many tutorials, and indeed nothing should happen so that deploy a controller or something else. My concerns were about this "else", as the virtual switches and so on. I guess that the NSX will show existing resources such as the existing virtual switches (and so forth) already configured with vCenter?

  What vCloud Director does is interact with NSX via API.  Calls are exclusive to VXLAN (vdnscope-# resources in the API) and demand to deploy or update an edge.  vCD is not 'show' resources discovered by NSX.  You configure NSX and vCD makes an API call and said ' I want a Board connected to the port groups A and B "or"I want a new vWire of this VXLAN instance.

  Is there a document with the "best practices" for the deployment of vCD?

  Yes: VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit: Cloud Computing reference Architecture | United States

  The meddle with existing resources, must have dedicated resources for the vCD vendor (aka the cluster in vCenter).  It is better to have that then using a pool of resources to a cluster where neighbour noisy problems can arise.  vCAT above might exceed a lot of that when you read it.
