I have put some bullet points together for myself to setup a new Organization with Org VDC. Might be useful to someone else. Nothing advances and if you are a beginner i would probably view another blog or VMware documentation for assistance.
1.
Vsphere client:
a.
Setup ESXi hosts
b.
Setup new Datacenter.
c.
Setup new cluster
d.
Setup two different vDSs, one for management/vmotion
and one for external & VCDNI networks. If setting up VXLAN, I would recommend
setting up a separate vDS for this.
e.
Create port groups for external networks within
2nd vDS which was configured.
f.
IF VXLAN used, prepare the new vDS for VXLAN
g.
Create storage profile.
i. Create
Storage capabilities.
ii. Create
Storage profile and assign storage capabilities to profile.
iii. Assign
Storage capabilities to datastores within created cluster
iv. Make
sure to enable the storage profile! (very often overlooked)
2.
vCloud director:
a.
Create Provider VDC
i. Select
previously created cluster
ii. Select
storage profile.
iii. Select
host to prepare.
iv. Done
b.
Setup new Organization
i. Simple
setup wizard and very easy to follow and understand
c.
Setup network pool for virtual switch.
i. Select
network pool type ( I pick network isolation-backed for simplicity)
ii. Specify
VLAN and max VCDNI networks.
iii. Select
vDS created before.
d.
Setup external network and link to port groups
created for external networks.
e.
Create ORG VDC
i. Select
organization
ii. Select
Provider VDC
iii. Select
allocation model.
iv. Configure
model. (for our QA/DEV labs I prefer pay-as-you-go)
v. Allocate
storage
vi. Select
network pool
vii. Configure
Edge Gateway
viii.
Select external network
ix. Set
IP addresses
x. Sub-allocate
IP Pools
