Table 8 ESX compute host checklist (continued)
Additional ResourcesRequirement
The host name must be specified as a FQDN and not an IP
address.
VMware vSphere DocumentationYou have a standard or distributed vSwitch on the Cloud Data
Trunk for each cluster.
See Configuring networks (page 97)
VMware vSphere DocumentationA large datastore supports all hosts in the cluster. The datastore
must be in the same Datacenter where the vSwitch is configured.
vSphere Virtual Machine Administration
Guide
To use the security groups feature, VMware vShield Manager
in vCNS must be installed and configured for the managed
vCenter Server. vShield App must be installed from vShield
Manager on each host in the management vCenter Server
cluster.

Optional: For console access in the CloudSystem Portal, the
port range 5900 to 6105 is open for each compute host.

Optional: If you plan to connect to 3PAR using iSCSI, then you
have connectivity to the iSCSI network that is connected to the
3PAR.

Configuring networks
A virtual switch (distributed or standard) is configured on the Cloud Data Trunk to support all
compute hosts in the compute cluster. The number of VLAN IDs assigned to the Cloud Data Trunk
is the number of Provider and Private networks you can create in CloudSystem.
Distributed virtual switches
A distributed vSwitch supports all hosts in a compute cluster, and all hosts in the compute clusters
within the same data center must be connected to the same distributed vSwitch. The distributed
vSwitch also should be attached to the virtual machine NICs of all the compute hosts. For ESX
clusters, you can use the default vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) when creating the vSwitch. If
you have more than one host in the cluster, ensure that vmotion is configured on the Data Center
Management Network.
Standard virtual switches
When standard vSwitches are used, one vSwitch is configured for each compute host. The vSwitch
name must be the same for each host. The vSwitch name is defined when you register the vCenter
Server on the Integrated Tools screen of the CloudSystem Console.
