VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide

This guide also was designed to enable evaluating vCloud Director with limited resources. Accordingly, some of

the procedures do not conform to best practices to be followed when deploying vCloud Director in a production

environment. Whenever possible, procedures that directly conﬂict with best practices are called out. In short,

the procedures listed here are for evaluation purposes only.

Infrastructure Installation

In this section, you will install and conﬁgure the components that will provide the foundation upon which you will

build a private cloud. This includes installation of vCloud Director, vCloud Networking and Security Manager, and

the vCenter Server instance that will be attached to vCloud Director.

In this guide, the vCloud Director and vCenter Server appliances are used. This enables you to quickly get an

environment for evaluation purposes up and running.

The vCloud Director Appliance uses SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for VMware, based upon SUSE Linux

Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2. Although thevCloud Director Appliance supports the use of an external

Microsoft SQL Serveror Oracle Database as the vCloud Director database, it also includes an internal Oracle

Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 (Oracle Database XE) that can be used. This guide leverages the beneﬁts

of the internal database. You can obtain more information about the supported external databases by accessing

theVMware Product Interoperability Matrixes at http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_

matrix.php?

Installing the vCenter Server Appliance

The ﬁrst step in building an environment to evaluate vCloud Director is to install the vCenter Server instance that

will be associated with vCloud Director. This vCenter Server instance and the resources it maintains will become

the foundation of resources used within vCloud Director.

In this guide, we utilize the VMware vCenter Server Appliance™ for this purpose. Using the vCenter Server

Appliance eliminates the complexity of deploying a complete solution. It will be deployed as a virtual machine

that resides within the management cluster conﬁgured.

To begin, utilize the VMware vSphere Client™ connected to the vCenter Server instance for the management

cluster and select the Deploy OVF Template option.
