vCD 9.5 (vCD 8.20) when we need RabbitMQ ? and when we can skip this component ?

$
0
0

     Today we use:

vCD 8.20 (Cell01, Cell02)  and Onapp application for billing needs.

 

IN this month we would like upgrade vCD to 9.5 and next resign with Onapp because we are during developing our solution.

 

Im so fresh in vCD and honestly im not sure how this is now working...

In vCD configuration i see in EXTENSIBILITY TAB > AMQP HOST:  ip of Onapp...

 

Then question what when we shutdown onapp. Should we use some other AMQP solution ? (RabbitMQ) ?

When RabbitMQ should be used ? I need some 101 explanation....

Hi All,

 

VCD HA(active and passive setup)

I have some queries about vCloud director HA setup.Could you please help

on this?

We have setup vcloud director software(VCD 9.5.0) on 2
VMs(active/passive) with Centos 7.10 also installed Postgress on 2
VMs(active/passive) with Centos 7.10.

Setup is as follows:-

VCD application Setup
2 nodes, with CentOS-7.10, active/passive
/Opt filesystem for vCloud binary installation used, which is managed
by DRBD to replicate to other node

Clustering software used
Corosync, pacemaker

Using pacemaker,Virtual IP will be assigned for https service.

DB Setup:
1) 2 nodes, with CentOS-7.10, active/passive
2) /var/lib/pgsql filesystem for postgresql-9.5 database, which is
managed by DRBD to replicate to other node
3) Clustering software used :
Corosync, pacemaker & DRBD
Using pacemaker Virtual IP will be assigned for DB instance

Can we go with this setup or it should be routed through NFS mount
point only ? Please let me know which approach is correct one ?

 

Thank you,

Move vDC networks to UniversalTransportZone

Hi Guys

 

We have a vCloudDirector 9.5 managed vCenter (6.7) with NSX for vSphere (6.4.4).

Now we had to install a new second vCenter for another vmware solution (it can not be used with a vCD managed vCenter.)

i created a cross vCenter NSX Installation (the new vCenter without vCloudDirector is bound the secondary nsx manager), with a universal transportzone.

Everything works fine. I can create new networks in NSX, can attach them to my vCloudDirectors Edge Gateway, and on the oder side to some VM's in the other vCenter.

it's great.

 

But 2 points:

-how can i create the new universal-transport-zone networks from vcloud director?

-i added the universal transport zone in vCloud Director (add Networkpool), but i can't assign the new pool to virtal dataceters.

 

How can i move some vCloudDirector networks the new vxlan pool with the universal transportzone?

 

thanks for help.

I have noticed this on my fresh lab install, as well as my 2 year old (and upgraded from 8.10 in steps with every new release) production install.

 

Looking at the RabbitMQ server, I can see the below exchanges:

 

Have anyone encountered this, and will it cause some kind of weird error?

Hi,

 

Is it possible to move edge gateways from one vDC to another vDC if they are backed by different vCenter Servers, but same instance of vCloud Director?

If not, is it possible to download and restore edge gateway configs so that I don't need to recreate all rules again?

vCloud Director 9.5 for Cross-VDC , requirement ?

$

Hello,

 

We are trying to set up a dual site vCloud Director with 9.5 version.

So we are testing cross VDC, we have configured two distinct orgVDC from two distinct provider VDC.

 

Each provider VDC comes from a vCenter RG / NSX Manager and we have only one instance vCD for both provider VDC.

 

We cannot configure the org VDC for Cross-VDC option, the option could not be enabled, we have followed several blogs and sources but still have an error.

 

Do we miss something ? Can we set up cross-vdc with only one instance VCD and two vCenter / NSX mananger ?

 

We are contacting Vmware for PSO services but the team is busy we need to wait until they can.

 

Best regards

Alert "virtual disks that need consolidation" in a VCD environment

0

I'm a complete Noob when it comes to VCD, never used it before, but I've been tasked into consolidating the disks for a particular virtual machine. Can someone link me to any documentation on how to fix this issue? I'm assuming because VCD is involved that I cannot do what I normally do, which is to log into the vCenter and storage migrate the VM to release locks then run the consolidate command.

 

Thanks

NSX mode ECMP is available under sous vCD ?

If yes, how is possible ? I don't see the option when deploying EDGE under vCD, only HA mode.

Doubts with certificates wildcard and external services

$

Hello Guys

 

I'm doing a lab for vCloud Director 9.1 and have doubts how to use certificates wildcard.

 

My lab have 3 nodes with vcenter 6.5, and have 2 cell with Load Balanced in NSX.

 

When access to url of LB (https://vcloudlb.lab.local/cloud) access without problem to vCloud Portal.

 

In the installation in the Primary Cell I running:

 

keytool -keystore certificates.ks -alias http -storepass Passw0rd -keypass Passw0rd -storetype JCEKS -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 3650 -dname "CN=vcloudlb.lab.local, OU=LAB, O=LAB, L=Providencia S=Providencia C=CO" -ext "san=dns:vcloudlb.lab.local,dns:vcloudlb,ip:192.168.112.190"

 

keytool -keystore certificates.ks -alias consoleproxy -storepass Passw0rd -keypass Passw0rd -storetype JCEKS -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 3650 -dname "CN=vcloudplb.lab.local, OU=LAB, O=LAB, L=Providencia S=Providencia C=CO" -ext "san=dns:vcloudplb.lab.local,dns:vcloudplb,ip:192.168.112.191"

 

Post I run:

 

keytool -keystore certificates.ks -storetype JCEKS -storepass Passw0rd -certreq -alias http -file http.csr

keytool -keystore certificates.ks -storetype JCEKS -storepass Passw0rd -certreq -alias consoleproxy -file consoleproxy.csr

 

Now If I wanted to publish my laboratory for outside in order to publish services and I would like to use Wildcard * .lab.local for example from godaddy I need to send the http.crt and consoleproxy.crt?

 

I read from this page https://bakingclouds.com/installing-wildcard-signed-ssl-certificates-in-vcloud-director-9-1/  but I have confusion as it should be the use of wildcard.

 

 

thanks for your help

Default value of appliance size for automatically created ESG and DLR

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Depending on the used feature, vCloud Director will automatically create Edge Services Gateways and Distributed Logical Routers in the background. For example, if we use vApp networks or when we use the distributed routing feature of an Edge Gateway.

 

However, vCD creates all these NSX appliances with the appliance size "Compact". Does anyone know a way to change this default value? So, that these automatically created ESG and DLR are deployed in the size "Large"? Maybe via a config option in the cell-management-tool and the sub command "manage-config"?

 

If we manually create a perimeter edge gateway for an oVDC, we can choose the size (Compact, Large, X-Large or Quad Large). But I am interested in the default value for the size of the NSX appliances that are automatically created by vCD in the background.

 

It would be great if anyone knows how to accomplish this.

 

Thanks!

How to configure multicell vcd LB certificate

Hi all,

 

I have Installed multiple cell vCloud Director 9.5 with signed wildcard certificate ( Issuer GeoTrust )

 

Cell 1 HTTPS : cell01.subdomain.domain.com

Cell 1 CONSOLE : cell01-console.subdomain.domain.com

 

Cell 2 HTTPS : cell02.subdomain.domain.com

Cell 2 CONSOLE : cell02-console.subdomain.domain.com

 

My signed wildcard certificate is *.subdomain.domain.com

 

 

tomorrow I'll configure my Load balancer without sub domain like this ;

 

cloud.domain.com - With SSL Ofloading

cloud-console.domain.com - pass through ssl

 

Then I will configure my Public URLs with dns above on vCloud Director.

 

Is there any mismatch at configuration above ?

 

Thanks
