Network Details
List of VDS details, For each VDS
Port group names and the corresponding transport type. Note that EDGE_INFRA_OVERLAY_UPLINK, VREALIZE should not be specified in the input spec. Multiple port groups with transport type PUBLIC can be created.
DVS host Infrastructure traffic resource type
Maximum allowed usage for a traffic class
Amount of bandwidth to be reserved for the host infrastructure traffic class
The list of transport zone(s) to be associated with the vSphere Distributed Switch managed by NSX. The supported transport types are OVERLAY and VLAN.
[ { "name" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01", "portGroupSpecs" : [ { "name" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01-pg-mgmt", "transportType" : "MANAGEMENT", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink1", "uplink2" ], "teamingPolicy" : "loadbalance_ip" }, { "name" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01-pg-vsan", "transportType" : "VSAN", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink1" ], "standByUplinks" : [ "uplink2" ], "teamingPolicy" : "loadbalance_loadbased" }, { "name" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01-pg-vmotion", "transportType" : "VMOTION", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink2" ], "standByUplinks" : [ "uplink1" ], "teamingPolicy" : "loadbalance_srcmac" } ], "mtu" : 9000 }, { "name" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds02", "nsxtSwitchConfig" : { "transportZones" : [ { "name" : "sfo-w01-nsx-overlay", "transportType" : "OVERLAY" }, { "name" : "sfo-w01-nsx-vlan01", "transportType" : "VLAN" } ], "hostSwitchOperationalMode" : "STANDARD" }, "mtu" : 9000 } ]
NSX cluster Details
For each vSphere Distributed Switch that is managed by NSX UplinkProfile needs to be defined inside nsxTClusterSpec . For DHCP transportVlan needs to be provided inside UplinkProfile
{ "nsxTClusterSpec" : { "uplinkProfiles" : [ { "name" : "Uplink-Profile-1", "teamings" : [ { "policy" : "FAILOVER_ORDER", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink-1" ], "standByUplinks" : [ "uplink-2" ] } ], "transportVlan" : 2 } ] } }TEP IP assignment can be done from the Static IP pool. For creating a new IP pool during the domain creation
{ "nsxTClusterSpec" : { "ipAddressPoolsSpec" : [ { "name" : "static-ip-pool-01", "subnets" : [ { "ipAddressPoolRanges" : [ { "start" : "10.0.11.50", "end" : "10.0.11.70" }, { "start" : "10.0.11.80", "end" : "10.0.11.150" } ], "cidr" : "10.0.11.0/24", "gateway" : "10.0.11.250" } ] } ], "uplinkProfiles" : [ { "name" : "Uplink-Profile-1", "teamings" : [ { "policy" : "FAILOVER_ORDER", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink-1" ], "standByUplinks" : [ "uplink-2" ] } ], "transportVlan" : 2 } ] } }For using an existing IP pool during the domain creation
{ "nsxTClusterSpec" : { "ipAddressPoolsSpec" : [ { "name" : "static-ip-pool-01" } ], "uplinkProfiles" : [ { "name" : "Uplink-Profile-1", "teamings" : [ { "policy" : "FAILOVER_ORDER", "activeUplinks" : [ "uplink-1" ], "standByUplinks" : [ "uplink-2" ] } ], "transportVlan" : 2 } ] } }
Note : To create a new IP address pool during domain creation, "subnets" , the list of IpAddressPoolSubnetSpec in the input spec must not be empty. Only the IP address pool name has to be sent in the input spec while using an existing IP address pool.
* Once vSphere Distributed Switch, Uplink Profiles and IP Address Pools Spec are defined, they need to be associated in *networkProfiles* in *networkSpec*
```json
[ {
"name" : "Cluster-1-network-profile01",
"isDefault" : true,
"nsxtHostSwitchConfigs" : [ {
"vdsName" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds02",
"uplinkProfileName" : "Uplink-Profile-1",
"ipAddressPoolName" : "static-ip-pool-01",
"vdsUplinkToNsxUplink" : [ {
"vdsUplinkName" : "uplink1",
"nsxUplinkName" : "uplink-1"
}, {
"vdsUplinkName" : "uplink2",
"nsxUplinkName" : "uplink-2"
} ]
} ]
} ]
```
Note : In case of multiple profiles, the profile name needs to be referred in networkProfileName in HostNetworkSpec.
Network pool must be configured.
Logical VMware Cloud Foundation container (Workload Domain) must be provisioned.
Note : NSX management cluster is configured when the domain is created.
Prerequisites for vSAN, NFS or VMFS on FC or VVOL must be met.
License key details may be provisioned in vCenter.
Host configuration must have minimum two active vmNics.
There must be at least three hosts available in the VMware Cloud Foundation inventory.
Ensure that the hosts you want to add to the cluster are in UNASSIGNED_USEABLE state.
You must have valid host and vSAN (if using vSAN storage) license key specified with adequate sockets available for the host to be added.
A DHCP server must be configured on the Geneve VLAN of the respective domains. When NSX creates VTEPs for the hosts in the domain, they are assigned IP addresses from the DHCP server.
Evaluate if you want to have pNICs on multiple vSphere Distributed Switches in the NSX domain. At least two pNICs are needed on a single switch. Below is a spec sample:
{ "vmNics" : [ { "id" : "vmnic0", "vdsName" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01", "uplink" : "uplink1" }, { "id" : "vmnic1", "vdsName" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds01", "uplink" : "uplink2" }, { "id" : "vmnic2", "vdsName" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds02", "uplink" : "uplink1" }, { "id" : "vmnic3", "vdsName" : "sfo-w01-cl01-vds02", "uplink" : "uplink2" } ] }
1.2. Steps API
- Validate the input specification.

4. Expand a Cluster
Adding an individual host to a cluster adds the resources of that host to the cluster. You can add multiple hosts at a time to a cluster.
4.1. Prerequisites API
The following data is required
ID of the cluster
For each host
ID of the host (UUID)
List of VDS names to associate with host
ID of the vmNic, host is associated to
The name of the uplinks on the VDSes to which the vmnics are meant to be associated
Availability zone name to which host is mapped, if expand operation to be performed is on a stretched cluster
The network profile name if the host is intended to be part of a NSX sub cluster. The host could be added to a new sub cluster defined by the network profile in the spec or to an existing NSX sub cluster. Hosts that do not define "networkProfileName" will be associated with the global config of the cluster
Tip : Refer to the get cluster network configuration API to get all the existing sub clusters: Query the cluster network configuration
Is inter-rack cluster expansion - required, only if Cluster contains NSX Edge Cluster
License key of ESXi
The cluster network specification. Creation of sub clusters and sub transport node profiles is supported from NSX version 4.1.2 onwards. This network spec is needed if the hosts used for cluster expansion needs to have a different NSX network configurations than the cluster.
The NSX cluster specification
To use DHCP for host TEP IP assignment

The network profile is equivalent to the transport node profile and sub transport profiles in NSX. This contains the cluster VDSes used by NSX and the network configurations to be applied on the VDS. The below details are required to create a new network profile.
The name of the network profile
The list of NSX Host switch configurations
The VDS name (should be a VDS used by NSX)
The name of the uplink profile to be associated with the VDS (should be one of the uplink profiles defined in the spec)
The name of the IP address pool specification (should be one of the IP address pools defined in the spec)
VDS uplink to NSX uplink mappings

Note : The spec allows user to either define new network profiles or apply an existing network profile on the incoming host(s). To add host(s) to an existing sub cluster define "networkProfileName" under "hostNetworkSpec". If the cluster is stretched, hosts in one availability zone cannot reuse the network profile of hosts in the other availability zone.
The cluster in a domain to which hosts are to be added must exist.
There must be a host available in the VMware Cloud Foundation inventory.
The hosts to be added must have been commissioned.
Ensure that the host you want to add is in an active state.
For expanding a cluster which uses more than 2 vmnics, get the hosts which are compatible with the cluster using hosts query API with the criterion "HOST_COMPATIBLE_WITH_CLUSTER_USING_PNICS".
Tip : Refer to: Get the Hosts based on a Criterion.
You must have a valid ESXi license specified with adequate sockets available for the host to be added.
Ensure that the host to be added to the cluster matches the configuration of the hosts already in the cluster. This ensures a balanced configuration of the cluster.
Cluster should be in Stretched state, if expansion to be performed is on Stretched cluster.
4.2. Steps API
- Validate the input specification.

5. Compact a Cluster
When a host is removed from a cluster in a domain, the vSAN members are reduced. Ensure that you have enough hosts remaining to facilitate the configured vSAN availability. Failure to do so might result in the datastore being marked as read-only or in data loss.
5.1. Prerequisites API
The following data is required
For each host to be removed
- ID of the host
5.2. Steps API
- Validate the input specification.

6. Stretch a Cluster
Convert a Standard vSAN cluster to a Stretched cluster
6.1. Prerequisites API
The following data is required
ID of the cluster
Secondary AZ overlay vLAN Id
For each host
ID of the host (UUID)
License key of ESXi
For each Witness host
ID of witness host
FQDN of witness host
vSAN subnet cidr of witness host
The following data is optional
Witness traffic shared with vSAN (or Management VMK)
Edge cluster configured Multi-AZ
The cluster network specification. Creation of sub clusters and sub transport node profiles is supported from NSX version 4.1.2 onwards. This network spec is needed if the hosts used for the secondary availability zone (az) need to have a different NSX network configuration than the primary availability zone. This enables user to use static IP pool for host TEP IP assignment for secondary az hosts.
The NSX cluster specification
To use DHCP for host TEP IP assignment
The list of IP address pool specifications if the host TEP IP assignment is done from a static IP pool
{
"name" : "sfo-w01-cl02-ip-pool-01",
"description" : "static ip pool for az2",

} ],
"cidr" : "10.0.8.0/24",
"gateway" : "10.0.8.250"
} ]
}
Note : The spec allows user to either define new IP pools or reuse existing ones. To reuse existing IP pool only the "ipAddressPoolName" has to be defined while "subnets" will be null
- Define the uplink profiles
{
"name" : "sfo-w01-cl02-uplink-profile-01",
"teamings" : [ {
"policy" : "FAILOVER_ORDER",
"activeUplinks" : [ "uplink-1" ],
"standByUplinks" : [ "uplink-2" ]
} ],
"transportVlan" : 100
}
Note : The "secondaryAzOverlayVlanId" is deprecated in favour of "transportVlan" in "uplinkProfiles" . If the NSX version is less than 4.1.2 where sub TNP is not supported, the "secondaryAzOverlayVlanId" is still mandatory.
The network profile is equivalent to the transport node profile and sub transport profiles in NSX. This contains the cluster VDSes used by NSX and the network configurations to be applied on the VDS. The below details are required to create a new network profile
The name of the network profile
The list of NSX Host switch configurations
The VDS name (should be a VDS used by NSX)
The name of the uplink profile to be associated with the VDS (should be one of the uplink profiles defined in the spec)
The name of the IP address pool specification (should be one of the IP address pools defined in the spec)
VDS uplink to NSX uplink mappings

"nsxUplinkName" : "uplink-1"
}, {
"vdsUplinkName" : "uplink2",
"nsxUplinkName" : "uplink-2"
} ]
} ]
}
Note : The spec should only define new network profiles to be used for hosts in secondary availability zone.
The cluster must exist.
There must be a host available in the VMware Cloud Foundation inventory.
The hosts to be added must have been commissioned.
Ensure that the host you want to add is in an active state.
You must have a valid ESXi license specified with adequate sockets available for the host to be added.
Ensure that the host to be added to the cluster matches the configuration of the hosts already in the cluster. This ensures a balanced configuration of the cluster.
vSAN witness should be configured.
Underlying physical network should have proper MTUs and vSAN/vMotion connectivity between availability zones and the witness.
6.2. Steps API
- Validate the input specification.

8. Delete a Cluster
Warning : Datastores on the ESXi hosts in the cluster that will be deleted are destroyed.
Note : You cannot delete the last cluster in a domain. Instead, the domain can be deleted. A cluster cannot be deleted if it has remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then retry cluster deletion. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Administration Guide' for more details.
8.1. Prerequisites API
The following data is required
- ID of the cluster to be deleted
Ensure that a cluster with the given ID exists.
The cluster has been marked for deletion.
Migrate or backup the VMs and data on the data store associated with the cluster to another location.
8.2. Steps API
- Initialize the deletion.
Warning : It is not possible to delete a cluster without having marked it for deletion. This 2-step deletion ensures that a cluster is not deleted accidentally.
