NSX-T management options for VI workload domain

NSX-T management options for VI workload domain

  • With each new VI workload domain, there is the option to deploy three new NSX-T management virtual appliances to manage network requirements, or to reuse existing NSX-T managers. The use cases that trigger this decision include:

    • Test/Development or pre-production workloads that do not use the production network
    • Applications in the workload domain have an NSX-T version dependency.
    • Applications that require more isolation and security
    • Cloud Foundation deployments that have a multitenant workload requirement
    • A new VLAN-backed transport zone is required.

    If a new set of NSX-T management virtual appliances is planned for the management workload domain, the following points must be considered:

    • Each NSX-T manager has a resource reservation of 48 GB of memory.
    • NSX-T managers are subject to vSphere HA admission control.
    • NSX-T manager virtual appliances can be CPU intensive depending on workload activity.
