Cloud Director Installation and Configuration Guide

Overview of VMware Cloud Director

Installation and Configuration 1

A VMware Cloud Director® cluster combines Cloud Director servers with the vSphere platform. You create a

Cloud Director cluster by installing and configuring Cloud Director software on one or more server hosts, and

then integrating the cluster with one or more installations of vSphere.

This chapter includes the following topics:

n“Cloud Director Architecture,” on page 7

n“Configuration Planning,” on page 8

n“About the Cloud Director Database,” on page 9

n“Cloud Director Hardware and Software Requirements,” on page 10

Cloud Director Architecture

In a Cloud, a VMware Cloud Director cluster is linked with one or more vCenter servers and vShield Manager

servers, and an arbitrary number of ESX/ESXi hosts. The Cloud Director cluster and its database manage access

to vCenter resources by Cloud clients.

Figure 1-1 is a schematic representation of a simple Cloud. The diagram shows a Cloud Director cluster

comprising four server hosts. Each host runs a group of services called a Cloud Director cell. All hosts in the

cluster share a single database. The entire cluster is connected to three vCenter servers and the ESX/ESXi hosts

that they manage. Each vCenter server is connected to a vShield Manager host, which provides network

services to the Cloud.

The Cloud Director installation and configuration process creates the cells, connects them to the shared

database, and establishes the first connections to a vCenter server, ESX/ESXi hosts, and vShield Manager. After

installation and configuration is complete, a system administrator can connect additional vCenter servers,

vShield Manager servers, and ESX/ESXi hosts to the Cloud Director cluster at any time.

Configuration Planning

vSphere provides storage, compute, and networking capacity to Cloud Director. Before you begin installation,

consider how much vSphere and Cloud Director capacity you need, and plan a configuration that can support

it.

Configuration requirements depend on many factors, including the number of organization in a cloud, the

number of users in each organization, and the activity level of those users. The following guidelines can serve

as a starting point for most configurations:

nAllocate one Cloud Director server host (cell) for each vCenter server that you want to include in your

cloud.

nBe sure that all Cloud Director server hosts meet at least the minimum requirements for memory, CPU,

and storage detailed in “Cloud Director Hardware and Software Requirements,” on page 10.

nConfigure the Cloud Director database as described in “About the Cloud Director Database,” on

page 9.

About the Cloud Director Database

Cells in a Cloud Director cluster use a database to store shared information. This database must exist before

you can complete installation and configuration of Cloud Director software.

Database Configuration Parameters

The database must be configured to allow at least 75 connections per Cloud Director cell plus about 50 for

Oracle's own use. There is one cell for each server host in a Cloud Director cluster. Table 1-1 shows how to

obtain values for other configuration parameters based on the number of connections, where C represents the

number of cells in your Cloud Director cluster.

Table 1-1. Oracle Database Configuration Parameters

Oracle Configuration Parameter Value for C Cells

CONNECTIONS 75*C+50

PROCESSES = CONNECTIONS

SESSIONS = PROCESSES*1.1+5

TRANSACTIONS = SESSIONS*1.1

OPEN_CURSORS = SESSIONS

Database Creation Best Practices

Use commands of the following form to create separate data (CLOUD_DATA) and index (CLOUD_INDX)

tablespaces:

Create Tablespace CLOUD_DATA datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_data01.dbf' size 1000M

autoextend on;

Create Tablespace CLOUD_INDX datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_indx01.dbf' size 500M

autoextend on;

When you create the Cloud Director database user account, you must specify CLOUD_DATA as the default

tablespace.

Create user $vclouduser identified by $vcloudpass default tablespace CLOUD_DATA;

Database User Account and Required System Privileges

Do not use the Oracle system account as the Cloud Director database user account. You must create a dedicated

user account for this purpose and grant the following system privileges to the account:

nCONNECT

nRESOURCE

nCREATE TRIGGER

nCREATE TYPE

nCREATE VIEW

nCREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW

nCREATE PROCEDURE

nCREATE SEQUENCE

nEXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE

National Character Set

The database must be configured to use the AL16UTF16 character set.

Database Server Configuration

A database server configured with 16GB of memory, 100GB storage, and 4 CPUs should be adequate for most

Cloud Director clusters.

Cloud Director Hardware and Software Requirements

Each server host in a Cloud Director cluster must meet certain software and hardware requirements. In

addition, a supported database must be available to all members of the cluster. Each cluster requires access to

a vCenter server, one or more ESX/ESXi hosts, and a vShield Manager host.

Supported vCenter, ESX/ESXi, and vShield Manager Versions

vCenter servers intended for use with Cloud Director must meet specific configuration requirements

nvCenter networks intended for use as Cloud Director external networks or network pools must be

available to all hosts in any cluster intended for use by Cloud Director. Making these networks available

to all hosts in the datacenter simplifies the task of adding new hosts to Cloud Director.

nDVS must be used for cross-host fencing and network pool allocation.

nvCenter clusters used with Cloud Director must be configured to use automated DRS. Automated DRS

requires shared storage attached to all hosts in a DRS cluster.

nvCenter servers must trust their ESX hosts.
