Study Notes
Prerequisites
- Ensure the workload domain is in a stable state, with no active VMs or services running.
- Verify that resources (storage, networking) are not used by other infrastructure components.
- Ensure the workload domain is not subject to planned or in-flight maintenance.
- Identify the workload domain by name and location within the vCloud Director infrastructure.
Procedure for Removing a Workload Domain
-
Preparation:
- Create a backup of configuration files (vCenter Server and vCloud Director objects) related to the workload domain.
- Stop all VMs and services within the workload domain.
- Verify the domain's dependencies (interconnectivity/shared resources with other domains).
- Assess the potential impact on other domains/services consuming resources from the workload domain.
-
Removal Procedure:
- Use the vCloud API or vCloud Director management interface for the removal process.
- Carefully confirm and execute the removal command.
- Follow prompts and confirmation steps presented by the system's GUI. Avoid removal errors.
- Allow sufficient time for complete detachment; removal often involves multiple stages.
Important Considerations
- Data Migration: Plan proper data migration if data needs to be salvaged before removing the domain.
- Resource Dependencies: Address all dependencies before removal to prevent errors/service disruptions.
- Testing: Thoroughly test the removal process in a non-production environment.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the removal process (dates, times, changes).
- Rollback Plan: Create a clear rollback plan with an alternate storage location/replica, in case issues arise.
Post-Removal Validation Steps
- Verify complete removal and inaccessibility via VCF tools.
- Clean up unused VMs/orphaned infrastructure objects.
- Re-evaluate network configurations (firewall rules/connectivity).
Important Considerations
- Security: Be aware of security risks. Ensure access controls and procedures are followed. Verify the user has the necessary permissions. Reinforce security mechanisms based on industry best practices.
- Potential Issues and Troubleshooting: Monitor for and promptly address error messages; review error logs for troubleshooting clues. Utilize vCenter Server health checks for diagnostics. Revert to backup if necessary.
Best Practices
- Backup the workload domain configuration before removal.
- Outline a detailed removal plan considering dependencies and potential issues.
- Inform all involved parties about the process and implications.
Backup and Restore Strategy
- Establish a robust backup strategy for workload domain data.
- Confirm backup storage availability.
- Create a comprehensive restore plan for potential failures/issues.
