DDMC can be deployed from an OVF file by providing all required information such as hostname, IP address, storage, and so on. To manage DDRs, add them to the DDMC.
To enable the Smart Scale service for a data center, the administrator can use the DDMC UI to deploy the DDNVM. One DDNVM can be deployed for each data center.
The following figure shows that Advanced Services are not deployed in the data center Santa Clara North. By clicking Deploy Services, it creates a DDNVM for this data center after providing the information, such as where the DDNVM needs to be deployed, vCenter credentials, name, and IP with network details of the DDNVM and the port numbers.
The following table lists the resource requirements for deploying the DDMC and the DDNVM.
The following table provides a list of port numbers that are used by default. These can be changed if required. Use the default port numbers and make sure that the ports are not used by any other applications. Deploying a DDNVM normally takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Port | Protocol | Service |
TCP | DD Namespace redirection service agent | |
10002 | TCP | Pre-Shared Key for SSL/TLS handshake |
10003 | TCP | SSH Daemon |
10004 | TCP | DD Namespace redirection DB Manager |
2053 | TCP | DD Namespace redirection service |
The following is a summary of the services that run on the DDMC and the DDNVM.
