VAMI interface always uses https on port with self signed certificate by default that cannot be replaced via the GUI, but if required it can be replaced in the following file on the appliance:. NET version, as web client is not supported yet or vcloud. Although the picture shows port 80, if SSL is enabled, will be used instead. If the replaced certificates do not use intermediate CA, the web interface cannot be used for their import and java keytool command must be used instead from appliance CLI as described in the installation guide.
For some reason I was not able to create the private key with the GUI, but java keytool did the job. The same caveat as with Server applies when replacing the certificates. For the inter node communication, one node is designated as the Controller.
The Controller initiates the connection. It is expected that the non Public vCC node is unreachable from outside and therefore has to be the initiator of the communication between nodes and is therefore the Controller. So the Controller Node works either in push or pull mode. If the other Node has SSL enabled see Flow 2 , https port is used for the transfer between nodes.
If the other Node does not have SSL enabled the transfer will fail. The tenants then do not have to deploy their own nodes inside their organization VDCs with all the troubles of securing connectivity and appropriate transfer storage. In highly secure public clouds it gets tricky where and how to deploy the shared node. It cannot be load balanced, but provider can deploy multiple shared nodes and give their IP addresses only to specific groups of tenants.
The node should be as close as possible to the vCloud API somewhere in DMZ accessible from the internet but if Web Application Firewall is used it should still be in-between the node and API as it could be used as an attack vector to other organizations. This is a new feature, great for maintenance of catalogs in various clouds or might be also used by the provider for management of public catalog directly from vSphere where a vSphere folder is automatically synced with a vCloud Director catalog.
The default polling interval for synchronization is 6 hours. It can be changed but the change is unsupported. Following file can be edited on the vCC Server:. Although the documentation states that ports and are used for Content Sync, my understanding is that they are used only internally on the vCC Server.
Stretch Deploy will not work with Cisco Nexus V switch. The tenant most likely will not know which switch the provider is using until he will experience following error:. ExecutionException: com. The Stretch Deploy process is relatively complicated with many actions that are happening in the background. However if you want to end the stretch deploy by removing the remote VM, or bring it home back this must be done manually. This must be done by running a script from the vCC Node managing the private cloud.
So an access to the Node is needed, the script needs to be untared and quite a lot of information must be typed in when executed and their correctness is not verified until they are all typed in. This is definitely not task for an average user and I expect this part might be improved in later releases. Let me first paste picture from the manual which describes in high level how the process works: vCloud Connector vCC is leveraged to manage the whole process.
But what about the provider side of the whole process? Import The actual import is done via provider vCloud Connector server which is again the regular vCloud Connector server with no tweaks this time.
Share this: LinkedIn Twitter. Like this: Like Loading Here is the exact procedure: vCloud Connector Server 1. Verify that the import was successful. Therefore just briefly: 1. Sign hcagent. Import CA root certificate fojta-dc-CA. I have used the version 5. This can be done easily by adding. Import the OVF file into your organization catalog. We cannot just rely on Guest Customization as the IP address assignment is part of the vApp property which is applied when the vApp is deployed.
This also makes data transfer faster and more reliable. It allows businesses to extend logical boundaries of datacenter, allowing seamless data transfer, hence increasing cloud agility without compromising on consistency.
Users can easily attach compatible, scalable and compliant cloud resources to the private vSphere datacenter by using vCloud Connector. MSys Technologies has been a valuable and reliable partner without whom we could not have leveraged our hybrid cloud infrastructure the way we have. VMware vCloud Connector Offerings.
Brochure Cloud Computing Services. Cloud Migration Services Know More. Cloud Integrated Storage Know More. Accelerate with MSys today! Click on Register Node. In this Demo I there are two cloud environments Multitenant and Disaster recovery enabled cloud.
I will add them both for the purpose of demonstration. Click on add the Local node with credentials for vCenter. Add again the vCloud Air nodes with needed credentials. The VMs and templates will be loaded on the right. With this we completed registration and configuration of vCC Node and Server and they are ready go.
Pingback: Part 2 vCloud Connector 2. When I select the Server tab, it is showing nothing. Can you please let me know what would be the issue? Can you please help me …how to integrate V cloud air 2. Do you have any screenshots? This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
