Most of the virtual infrastructure components that are installed by VMware Cloud Foundation require their hostnames and IP addresses to be defined before deployment.
During the initial deployment of Cloud Foundation, the management domain is created and you must define components specific to the management domain before installation.
After the initial deployment, additional workload domains are created and you must define components specific to each additional workload domain.
Planning ahead for the initial deployment and the workload domains to be created avoids delays in deployment.
The following table provides an example of the information for the virtual infrastructure layer using the standard deployment model with a single workload domain. This example uses a DNS domain called osevcf17.local
for illustration purposes. Modify the sample information to conform to the configuration of your site.
