What can I do with NSX-T mapping to multiple vCenters in VMware Aria Automation
NSX-T
mapping to multiple vCenter
s in VMware Aria Automation
You can associate an
NSX-T
cloud account to one or more vCenter
cloud accounts to support various deployment objectives. You can associate the same existing
NSX-T
network to network profiles for different vCenter
s and provision a deployment in either vCenter
based on constraints. Several examples
are listed below:- Cloud templates that contain a single machine with multiple NICs that use the same network profile, where that network profile contains anNSX-Tnetwork that spans multiplevCenters.
- Cloud templates that contain a machine on aprivatenetwork that uses a network profile with subnet-based isolation and that uses anNSX-Texistingnetwork that spans multiplevCenters.
- Cloud templates that contain a single machine on aprivatenetwork that uses a network profile with security group-based isolation and that uses anNSX-Tnetwork that spansvCenters.
- Cloud templates that contain a single machine on aroutednetwork that uses a network profile that contains anNSX-Tnetwork that spans multiplevCenters.
- Cloud templates that contain an on-demand load balancer that is defined in a network profile where the load balancer is applied to all thevCentermachines on the network.
- Cloud templates that contain an on-demand network that is defined in a network profile where the on-demand network is used by all thevCenters that use the network profile.
- Cloud templates that contain an on-demand security group that optionally contains firewall rules and where the security group is associated to all thevCenters on the network.
You can configure
VMware Aria Automation
internal or external IPAM on the NSX-T
network and share the same IP address for
machines that are provisioned in different vCenter
s.If no network profile is defined in your system, you can provision a cloud template that
contains multiple machines on different
vCenter
s that share a single existing
NSX-T
network.
