    Study Notes

    Adding a Workload Domain to an Existing vCloud Foundation 5.2 Deployment

    • vCloud Director (vCD) manages virtual machines, networks, and cloud resources in vCloud Foundation (VCF).
    • Workload domains add virtual machines to existing vCloud Foundation infrastructure.
    • Prerequisites include valid vCenter Server/vCloud Director, existing VCF, sufficient storage, network resources, and understanding of vCD architecture. Appropriate administrative privileges are also needed.
    • Adding a workload domain involves several stages:
      • Identify the vCloud Director Instance: Locate the vCloud Director instance within the vCloud Foundation deployment.
      • Plan the new domain: Determine required resources (virtual machines, networks, storage).
      • Prepare the virtual infrastructure: Ensure compatibility of ESXi hosts (vCenter Server, vSphere).
      • Determine Target Datastores: Select appropriate datastores, ensuring sufficient storage capacity.
      • Provision storage: Support new virtual machines and data, ensuring correct configuration of storage DRS features.
      • Configure Network Connectivity: Design the network layout, considering connectivity to existing network infrastructure.
      • Configure vCloud Director: Define the new workload domain, set up IP addressing, network configuration, and necessary features.
      • Create the Workload Domain: Follow vCloud Director UI guidelines, including naming, description, and other parameters (compute resources).
      • Associate Resources: Link necessary resources (compute, networks, storage) to the new workload domain (e.g., defining roles for virtual machines).
      • Verify Configuration: Cross-check settings for all components before launching the domain.
      • Provision VM resources: Configure and provision virtual machine resources, defining templates if using existing ones.
      • Launch Virtual Machines: Launch defined VMs within the workload domain.
      • Validate configuration of policies, quotas, and security settings: For the new workload domain.
      • Deploy the workload domain components: According to specified instructions.
      • Test and verify: Functionality of VMs and resources within the new workload domain.

    Specific vCloud Director Configuration Tasks

    • Create or adapt vApp templates within vCloud Director based on workload requirements.
    • Configure quotas and resource limits in vCloud Director to manage resource usage within the new domain.
    • Implement security groups, firewalls, and security policies within the new workload domain for VMs.

    Key Considerations

    • Performance impacts of adding a workload domain must be considered based on existing resource capacity.
    • Assess future scalability of the underlying infrastructure (storage, compute, network) to accommodate workload domain growth.
    • Automate deployment and configuration using scripting or APIs.
    • Design redundancy and fault tolerance for the new workload domain (HA, storage redundancy).
    • Backup and Recovery Mechanisms: Maintain proper backup and recovery strategies.
    • Security Measures: Implement security protocols, like firewalls and access controls.
    • Monitoring and Maintenance: Establish monitoring; regularly assess and maintain configurations.
    • Scalability Considerations: Design with anticipated growth in mind.
    • Resource Allocation: Understand and adhere to resource limits in vCloud Director and vSphere.
    • Performance Impacts: Consider introducing new workloads on overall system performance, adjusting allocation if needed (VM placement & domain design impacts this).
    • User Roles and Permissions: Ensure correct roles and permissions.
    • Troubleshooting: Familiarize yourself with common troubleshooting procedures.
