Study Notes
Prerequisites for Supervisor Configuration in vCloud Foundation 5.2
- vCenter Server instance must be present, running, configured, and accessible.
- vCloud Director instance (vCloud Director 5.2 or later) must be present, running, and consistent with vCenter Server. vCenter Server version must be compatible with vCloud Director release. Check compatibility matrix.
- Network connectivity between vCenter Server, vCloud Director, and other components (e.g., storage, management network) is required, including DNS resolution, firewall rules, adequate bandwidth, virtual network configuration, and network addressing to support Supervisor.
- Pre-existing VMs are optional; Supervisor manages VMs after deployment, potentially requiring specific VM configurations. Configurations must adhere to infrastructure guidelines.
- Sufficient storage capacity and performance are needed for vCloud Director and Supervisor data/processes. Detailed storage prerequisites, including I/O requirements, should be available in documentation.
- Designated compute resources (CPU, memory, disks) must be provisioned correctly by vCenter Server for Supervisor operation. Supervisor operations require specific compute capacity, details in product documentation. This should not negatively impact vCenter and vCloud Director services.
- User accounts and roles need appropriate privileges to configure and manage Supervisor, enabling sufficient access control.
- vCloud Foundation must have the required prerequisites and dependencies to enable Supervisor functionality. Identify any associated packages or components that must be installed and configured correctly.
- Ensure the database instance used by vCloud Director is compatible with the Supervisor components. Refer to documentation.
- Appropriate licenses for vCenter Server, vCloud Director, and any Supervisor services or plugins are required. Incorrect license configuration will prevent Supervisor use.
- Verify that the vSphere environment possesses any needed versions or specific features required for Supervisor. Use VMware compatibility matrix.
- Validate that Supervisor configuration templates can be properly applied. Review custom templates for efficiency and stability post-installation.
- Review and verify security settings, firewalls, and access controls for the network. Ensure security protocols are in place, including authentication options and authorization policies.
- Thorough documentation review is essential for configuration guidelines and implementation procedures.
Supervisor Component Considerations
- Required licenses for vCloud Director, vCenter Server, and any associated third-party software must be validated and activated.
- Properly configured security policies (access controls, encryption) are vital for security.
- vCenter Server and vCloud Director operating systems must align with supported Supervisor versions and dependencies.
- Deployment is limited by data center infrastructure capacity (storage, memory, compute).
- Interoperability between related technologies (third-party tools, etc.) is crucial.
vCloud Director and Supervisor Interaction
- vCloud Director configuration must align with Supervisor functionality.
- Supervisor may require configuration adjustments for managing vApps and VMs.
- Accurate user accounts and permissions in vCloud Director and vCenter Server are essential for effective administration.
- Organizational structures within vCloud Director should match the deployment model.
