1. Create an SDDC

Create an SDDC workflow executes automatically the following:

  • Configures networking on each host.

  • Configures vSAN storage on the hosts.

  • Deploys and configures the management stack - vCenter and NSX

  • Deploys and configures SDDC Manager which provides the ability to perform Day 2 operations

1.1. Prerequisites

The following data is required

  • ID of the SDDC instance

  • Detailed list of host

Tip : Refer to: SddcHostSpec.

  • vCenter details

Tip : Refer to: SddcVcenterSpec.

  • Cluster details

Tip : Refer to: SddcClusterSpec.

  • Detailed list of Distributed Virtual Switches

Tip : Refer to: DvsSpec.

  • Detailed list of networks

Tip : Refer to: SddcNetworkSpec.

  • DNS details

Tip : Refer to: DnsSpec.

  • List of NTP servers

  • Name of the task to execute

The following data is optional

  • vSAN details

Tip : Refer to: VsanSpec.

  • NSX-T details

Tip : Refer to: SddcNsxtSpec.

Note : In order to configure NSX-T Host Overlay Using a Static IP Pool, please provide ipAddressPoolSpec in nsxtSpec. Otherwise, DHCP will be chosen. Example specifications can seen below.

  • SDDC Manager details

Tip : Refer to: SddcManagerSpec.

  • List of PSC's details

Tip : Refer to: PscSpec.

  • VxManager details

Tip : Refer to: VxManagerSpec.

  • Name of network pool associated with the management domain

  • List of names of the components to be excluded

  • Version of the Distributed Virtual Switch

  • Boolean to identify whether Customer Experience Improvement Program should be enabled

  • Boolean to identify whether Federal Information Processing Standards should be enabled

  • Remote Site details

Tip : Refer to: VxManagerSpec.

  • Passphrase for the certificates to be used for vCenter and NSX

  • License for the ESXi hosts

  • Boolean to identify if ESXi thumbprint validation is to be skipped

  • Security details

Tip : Refer to: SecuritySpec.

  • Boolean to identify if vSAN should be cleaned up

Note : Should be true only if this is the very first run

1.2. Steps

  • Validate the input specification.
