Environment Preparations

To manage vCenter on ZStack Cloud, you need to prepare ZStack Cloud Private Cloud environment and vCenter environment in advance. You can refer to User Guide for ZStack Cloud installation and deployment.

Environment Preparations for a vCenter

To use ZStack Cloud to manage the virtual resources of a vCenter, you need to make sure that the vCenter meets the following requirements:
  • The vCenter must have a resource hierarchy of data center, cluster and host.
  • The vCenter must support to display the added local storages and shared storages, such as vSAN, FC, iSCSI, and NFS.
    Note: Currently, datastore Cluster is not supported.
  • The vCenter must be configured with port groups of either dvSwitch or vSwitch.
    • dvSwitch scenario:

      Only resources of the hosts that are added to a dvSwitch can be imported to ZStack Cloud. If you do not add a host to a dvSwitch, the associated resources cannot be imported to ZStack Cloud.

    • vSwitch scenario:
      The resources imported to ZStack Cloud must be the resources of the hosts in the same cluster and must be added with at least one same vSwitch name. In addition, they must have at least one same port group attribute (including the same network labels and the same VLAN ID) at the same time.
      Note: ZStack Cloud can only manage VM networks rather than VMkernels or management networks.
  • The existing template virtual machines need to be converted into template types.
