A workload domain is a policy based resource container with specific availability and performance attributes that combines compute (vSphere), storage (vSAN/NFS/VMFS on FC/VVOL) and networking (NSX) into a single consumable entity.

1. Create a Domain

The Create a Domain workflow automatically:

Deploys an additional vCenter Server Appliance for the new domain within the management domain.
By leveraging a separate vCenter Server instance per domain, software updates can be applied without impacting other domains. It also allows for each domain to have additional isolation as needed.
Connects the specified ESXi servers to this vCenter Server instance and groups them into a cluster. Each host is configured with the port groups applicable for the domain.
Configures networking on each ESXi host.
If vSAN or NFS storage is provided, they are configured on the ESXi hosts. If VMFS on FC storage provided, it's consumed.
For the first domain in your environment, the workflow deploys a cluster of three NSX Managers in the management domain. The workflow also configures an anti-affinity rule between the managers to prevent them from being on the same host for High Availability. Each subsequent NSX domains will share this NSX Manager Cluster or create its own.
From NSX version 3.0 onwards NSX manager uses vSphere Distributed Switch(VDS) created by vCenter to configure transport nodes and handle overlay traffic.
In case of single vSphere Distributed Switch domain, the same vSphere Distributed Switch will be used for configuring overlay traffic.
For a domain which creates multiple vSphere Distributed Switches, the transportZones in the nsxtSwitchConfig in the VdsSpec should be provided with transportZone with transportType OVERLAY to identify the vSphere Distributed Switch which should be used by NSX for configuring overlay traffic. Refer to: VdsSpec.
In case of multiple vSphere Distributed Switches, one vSphere Distributed Switch has to be marked for NSX overlay transport zone. Multiple vSphere Distributed Switches can be configured with VLAN transport zone.
NSX Edges are needed to enable overlay VI networks and public networks for north-south traffic. Note that edges need to be deployed separately.
Clusters part of the domain can be configured to use IP address pools to assign IP addresses for the TEP interfaces of the hosts by specifying ipAddressPoolsSpec which is a list of IpAddressPoolSpec,inside the NsxTClusterSpec. The same IP Address Pool name needs to be referred in NetworkProfile inside the NsxTClusterSpec. If the IpAddressPoolSpec is not specified in the input spec, IP addresses for the TEP interfaces of the host are assigned from DHCP.
NSX uplink profiles of type UplinkProfile, can be configured inside the NsxTClusterSpec. For each vSphere Distributed Switch configured by NSX, a new uplink profile needs to be defined.
NetworkProfile can be defined inside the NsxTClusterSpec. It contains the host switch configurations for the NSX transport node. There should be one default profile. This will be considered as a global Transport Node Profile configuration that will be applied across all the hosts in the cluster.

Note : From NSX 4.1.2 onwards multiple profile is supported where one profile will be default and other profiles will be non-default. All the profiles should provide host switch configuration for all the vSphere Distributed Switch configured by NSX. In case of multiple profiles, non-default profile names need to be referred in networkProfileName inside hostNetworkSpec.

The result is a workload-ready SDDC environment.

    * For using an existing IP pool during the domain creation

      ```json
      {
        "nsxTClusterSpec" : {

            "name" : "static-ip-pool-01"

            "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.

Virtual IP address which would act as proxy/alias for NSX managers
Fully-qualified domain name for VIP so that common SSL certificates can be installed across all managers

  "formFactor" : "large"
}

Note : SDDC manager will generate AUDIT password if not provided in the input spec.

Network pool should be configured.

Tip : Refer to Create a Network Pool API

Hosts should be commissioned.

Tip : Refer to Commission the Hosts API

If Static IP pool is not used for VTEPs, 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. Ensure that host configuration has a minimum of two active vmNics. There must be a free uplink on each host to be used for the domain.

Evaluate if you need to have pNICs on multiple vSphere Distributed Switches if it is 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.

Note : The below example is for creating a domain using vSAN storage (i.e "vsanDatastoreSpec" ) and NSX (i.e "nsxTSpec" and "nsxTClusterSpec")

5. Rename a Domain

5.1. Prerequisites API

Domain must exist.

5.2. Steps API

Get the ID of the domain. Filter the response by the domain's current name to get the corresponding ID.

Tip : Get the Domains

Create a domain update spec. Create a JSON with the "name" field containing the desired new name.

Note : When renaming a domain, the "name" field must be the only value in the update spec.

Tip : DomainUpdateSpec.

Invoke the validate update domain spec API to ensure the requested new name is valid.

6. Delete a Domain

When you delete a domain, the clusters within the domain are deleted and the hosts are returned to the free pool.

Note : A domain cannot be deleted if the clusters of the domain have remote vSAN datastores configured. If so, unmount the remote vSAN datastores from vCenter and then retry domain deletion. Please refer to the 'VMware Cloud Foundation Administration Guide' for more details.

Warning : Deleting a domain is an irreversible operation. All clusters and VMs within the domain are deleted and the underlying datastores are destroyed.

Warning : Deleting a domain puts the host "status" to UNASSIGNED_UNUSEABLE . Cleanup the hosts to change the "status" to UNASSIGNED_USEABLE.

Note : The network pools used by the domain are not deleted as part of task and must be deleted separately.

6.1. Prerequisites API

The following data is required

ID of the domain that has to be deleted.

Tip : Back up the data on the domain.

Tip : Migrate the VMs that you want to retain, to another domain.

6.2. Steps API

Initialize the deletion.

Warning : It is not possible to delete a domain without having marked it for deletion. This 2-step deletion ensures that a domain is not deleted accidentally.
