NSX-T deployment in Mgmt WLD

  • Cloud Builder is used to deploy the NSX-T components in the Mgmt WLD VxRail. The deployment process consists of the following general steps:

    1. Deploy NSX-T Managers in Mgmt WLD VxRail cluster.
    2. Create anti-affinity rules for the NSX-T Managers.
    3. Set VIP for NSX-T Managers.
    4. Add Mgmt WLD vCenter as a compute manager.
    5. Assign NSX-T license.
    6. Create overlay transport zone.
    7. Create a VLAN transport zone.
    8. Create a host uplink profile.
    9. Create transport node profile.
    10. Prepare the hosts in the VxRail cluster for NSX-T.

    Starting with VCF 4.3, the deployment of AVN is a Day-2 activity performed from the SDDC Manager. The following tasks are also performed to deploy and configure the necessary components to provide the connectivity and routing for the NSX-T overlay backed networks for AVN:

    1. Create Edge Uplink Profile.
    1. Create Named Teaming Policy for Uplink traffic.
    2. Create Trunked Uplink Port Groups on the vDS.
    3. Deploy two Edge VMs.
    4. Create anti-affinity rules.
    5. Create Edge cluster.
    6. Create Uplinks for T0.
    7. Configure T0 and BGP.
    8. Configure T1. 
    9. Verify BGP Peering with TORs. 
    10. Create AVN Segments (Region A and xRegion).

    Once the Mgmt WLD has been deployed, it should contain the components that are shown in the following figure. The Edges are only deployed as a Day-2 activity from the SDDC Manager.
