• vCloud Director network configuration external network

  Hi all! For the configuration of external network within vCloud Director, I have a vDS configured with several groups of ports.  Each port group has a tag of vlan specific and no trunking.  My question is when I create the external network I can use the port group specific enumerated or what I need to set up a completely separate portgroup for this?  Also, if I can you my existing port groups that are specifically for each company in our environment, when I continue to configure the external network and click on finish, or if it cause a breakdown to the virtual machines currently in this group of port?  Thanks in advance for all help!

  If you use directly connect external Org network, then the existing portgroup will work.  If you use an external org routed network, then edge will be created using the portgroup you specified for the external network and creating a new portgroup for the routed network ext org portion.

• vCloud Director 5.5 device - limits

  Hi all

  Is there any vmware document that specifies the boundaries of the vCloud Director 5.5 device? I know it is trial / PoC and should not be used in a Production Env, but I am interested in a CEP more complex and has been reading here: the vCloud Director unit. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs limitations:

  Now the vCloud Director device it has some limitations.  As it is only intended for vCloud Director assessments, the scale of the deployment is limited to:

  • A cell of vCloud Director
  • Two vCenter servers
  • 10 VDC organization
  • 100 virtual machines
  • Up to 11 GB of information stored in the database shipped

  Being a former link, I'm sure that is more up-to-date and these limitations have increased, but would like to find something about it.

  I know it supports CentOS, but unfortunately in this PoC I do not have a Windows Server (will also use the vCenter device) and any database.

  Thanks in advance for any comments.

  We produce is no longer the device.  One of the limitations would be so you don't have updates for it.  The limits are generally the same as what you posted.

  CentOS support any really, since the device is produced as a black box.  SuSE or CentOS according to what version it is.  The embedded DB have size limits.

  If you do a CEP more complex, I suggest to use the BIN on CentOS Installer and have at least 2 vCloud Director of cells in a load balanced configuration.  Several cells is something you just can't do with the device.

• vCloud Director 5.1 with vco 5.5 plugin configuration

  I installed the plugin for vCloud director 5.1 in vCenter Orchestrator 5.5, the plug-in installed very well with the certificate that I imported from the url. However, configure the plug-in is another story, when I go to set up the plug-in of the customer or in the page web configuration, I get "failed to connect with the user name. My authorization of vco is configured with LDAP, so is my vCloud Director. In the client workflow 'Add link' vco for vCloud director, my selections are the url to vCloud, port 443, active, max 600 connections, the connection times out 20000 ms, session mode by user, the use and organization system SAML authentication Session. I followed the instructions of the Plugin VMware vCenter Orchestrator Documentation Centre . I tried to configure the plug-in as a shared user and I get the same error. I tried to configure the plugin in the web configuration page and it excludes the host that is the url to vCloud, but I do not see an inventory after that restart services vco and vco customer return logging. My vCloud infrastructure is set up with 2 cells and her sitting behind a vShield load balancing.  If I try to configure the plugin to go directly to one of my cells the workflow times out. I have a request of service opened with vmware, but I hope someone else has experienced this problem or might have a few suggestions that will point me in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Changing the IP of my vco did the trick. When I set up the server of vco, I put it on the same subnet as my vcd cells. While my load balancer was on a separate subnet. Assigning the vco server an ip address on a different subnet allowed transmitted traffic of the vco through the load balancer, solve my problem of time-out.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• vCloud Director - SVMOTION ERROR

  When I try to SVMotion a virtual machine. I get the error "this virtual machine is managed by vcloud Director solution.» It is not recommended to edit it directly. Instead, use the management console.

  The virtual machine is turned off in State

  Please suggest how to SVMOTION a virtual computer managed by vCLOUD Director

  Hello

  Even if it's a warning, we can migrate the virtual machine as long as under conditions are checked.

  Note: migrate through Storage vMotion is possible, but there are several caveats.

  • Make sure that the new data stores have the correct storage policy and are assigned to the correct hosts. There is no vCloud check engine steering investment using this method and it can cause serious problems if you do it right.
  • This is not recommended for virtual machines configured quickly as they are inflated to the full clones.
  • It is not possible for VAAI quickly put into service of the virtual machines being unable to Storage vMotion them vSphere.
  • Balancing of virtual machines on data warehouses is entirely manual.

• vCloud connector - cannot copy VAPP vCloud Director to vSphere

  Evening,

  Try to copy a paralytic to vCloud Director on vCenter 5.5 5.6 using vCloud connector 2.7.

  The scenario:

  -vCloud Director fully configured with one Org, an Org vDC and a catalog.

  -The catalog is entirely filled, shared and published.

  -Org and catalog are configured to allow the publication to external organizations;

  -vCenter and vCloud Director have been added to vCloud connector via vSphere Client plug-ins;

  -vCloud plug connector is able to see the entire structures of vSphere and vCD (org records, catalogs, vApps, models, etc.).

  Reproduce the error:

  -Using the vSphere Client, click on the Org vCD;

  -Go to the tab vApps.

  -Select a VAPP off engine;

  -Click on copy.

  -Select Catalog (it is marked as shared and, curiously, unpublished);

  -Select vCenter as the target;

  -Select the clusters, folders, data store, formatting the drive and so on;

  -Power On TIME after deploying (or not, does not matter);

  -Validate (managed);

  -Finishing.

  Task starts and fails in a minute (or less) with the following message:

  "Export OVF has failed. Failure when copying data to the clouds: https://< vcloud_director_fqdn >. Reason: [0e65fbc1-4e04-4924-ae06-c4377dfc97af] there is no catalog in the organization. »

  Looks as vCloud connector, for some reason, is unable to locate the catalog during deployment (although it may be perfectly visible during the Copy Wizard and in his inventory).

  I tried searching for it and can't find anything similar to this error.

  Maybe it s a vCD configuration error, but how would be? I ve already selected all types of option to allow editing of catalogue and sharing, and nothing has changed.

  I published also successfully catalog VCDs to vCloud connector content library, so nothing else makes sense to me.

  Solved.

  Created a new catalog and IS NOT published. Used for the copy. Went well.

• Management Pack for vCloud Director (vROps) connection problem / authentication adapter?

  Hello

  I'm trying to configure the Management Pack for vCloud Director (Cloud Management Marketplace |) Solution Exchange) and I seem to be having trouble with the simplest thing. I have the Solution installed and configured for most, but for some reason usually reach out and join the vCD server, or have a kind of authentication problems. When I test the map with appropriate powers (local and LDAP in vCD), I get the error:

  Cannot establish a connection on the target system. Logon failed! using Host = < FQDN > User = < adminuser > @System

  The adapter puts the @System after him, or is this something so simple, that I'm more thinking than he. I'd be happy to post any kind of newspapers if needed, let me know what you need.

  Thanks a ton!

  You HAVE to put @system, as it should work with or without. the base public REST API URL is assigned within vCloud Director? See the manual page, installation 28...

• 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.

• vCloud connector 2.5 - copy the model of vSphere to vCloud Director fails

  Hi all

  I'm trying to make a copy of the model of the private Cloud for vSphere (e.g. my instance of vCenter lab) the vCloud Director private cloud (my instance vCD lab, which is deployed and registered with the same instance of vCenter mentioned above) with vCloud connector 2.5.

  I have deployed the server component of vCC, configured and deployed two nodes of vCC - a to connect to vCenter for private cloud config vSphere and another to connect to the vCloud Director org for the basic cloud vCD config private. Moreover, the vCloud Director is registered to the same instance of vCenter which is used for vSphere cloud.

  I then tried to open a copy of the model from the vSphere cloud node to the node of vCD. The task to export the OVF template will start, and the task of SCR plugin will also display the copy task. This vCD instance also model any TIME if you go to the properties of the VDC organization selected during the SCR copy Wizard.

  After about 18%, the percentage remains stuck there for a little bit before the 'Export OVF Template"task fails with"Operation timed out ". After that, the task indicated in the vCC plugin will fail also later with (OVF Export failed. Null message) and the import of VAPP model in vCD job will fail also - VAPP failure will take upward of space inside the affected storage however profile until I have manually remove the failing through vCD VAPP model object.

  Anyone else having this problem? I've seen this problem on both environments so far: vCenter 5.1 update 1 with vCD 5.1.2 and vCenter 5.5 with vCD 5.5. If the problem seems to be specific to the version of vSphere. The logs generated by server SCR bee all that useful for me to understand what went wrong did not.
