Introduction

  • This chapter provides guidance on creating a VxRail Virtual Infrastructure (VI) workload domain before adding a cluster. Deploy the vCenter server and make the domain ready for the cluster addition.

    Note: You can only perform one workload domain operation at a time. For example, when creating a workload domain, you cannot add a cluster to any other workload domain.

    1. On the SDDC Manager Dashboard, click + Workload Domain and then select VI-VxRail Virtual Infrastructure Setup.
    1. Type a name for the VI workload domain, such as W02. The name must contain between 3 and 20 characters.
    2. Type a name for the organization that will use the virtual infrastructure, such as Dell. The name must contain between 3 and 20 characters.
    3. Click Next.
    4. On the Computer page, enter the vCenter IP address, 172.16.11.67, and DNS name, sfo01w02vc01.sfo01.rainpole.local

    Note: Before updating the IP address in the wizard, ensure that you have reserved the IP addresses in DNS.

    1. Type 255.255.255.0 and 172.16.11.253 the vCenter subnet mask and default gateway.
    2. Type and retype the vCenter root password.
    3. Click Next.
    4. At the Review step of the wizard, shown in Figure 24, scroll down the page to review the information.
    5. Click Finish to start the creation process.

    The Workload Domains page displays with a notification that the VI workload domain is being added.

    1. Click View Task Status to view the domain creation tasks and sub-tasks. The status is active until the primary cluster is added to the domain.
