Hi Ilya, I am trying to add VMWare DC for the first time in CloudStack management server and need help in doing so. I am trying to test the Brocade Network Plugin functionality. The Jira id is : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6823
I am following the Tutorial: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Advanced+Network+Tutorial+-+Step+by+Step My Network setup: 1. 2 ESXi hosts 4.1.0 hosts. 2. vCenter 5.0 Network layout: vSwitch0: For Management Network vSwitch0: for Guest Network vSwitch0 is assigned 1 Physical Nic. This Nic is connected to Brocade VDX switch. My test includes: * Create an isolated network; verify that the port-profile is created on the Brocade switch. * Attach a VM to the network; verify that the VMs MAC address is associated with the port profile of the network on the Brocade switch. * Add VMs to the same guest network but on different hosts and verify connectivity. * Check the availability of the switch by using the CloudStack API: http://<managerment-server>:8096/client/api?command=listHosts&type=L2Networking. This should list the switch with its availability status. * Delete VMs for an isolated network; verify that the VMs MAC address is disassociated with the port profile of the network on the Brocade switch. * Delete the isolated network; verify that the port-profile is deleted from the Brocade switch. I have few questions: 1. Where do I download the system vm template for vmware. I am using master CS codebase, I don't have the script /usr/lib64/cloud/common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt 2. Since I am testing L2 connectivity b/w VMs using Brocade switches by configuring the VLANs( by creating port-profiles) for the network on the switches, do I need to assign a IP range for Public network and storage network? 3. In the tutorial, there are 2 portgroups for VMs on Managemnt Network and Development Network? What are these 2 types of VMs? 4. For primary storage, do I give the datastore attached to the hypervisor hosts? Any help is appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Ritu S.
