9. Final Testing

You now created a Template Organization, a real Organization, assigned it some resources including a routed network. Now it is time to actually test the whole lot.

 

Logout and log back in with your newly created org user, making sure you are browsing to the org URL, in my case

https://vcd-01.vcrucial.com/cloud/org/open902/

org-39

 

First go to Catalogs and create your own catalog.

org-40

 

Now browse to the Template catalog you have created earlier and add the ISO to your own newly created catalog

org-41

 

The iso will now be copied to your own catalog, ready to be used

org-42

 

Now move to My Cloud > vApps and click Build New vApp

test-01

 

Give the vApp a name (check the other details if required)

test-02

 

Click New Virtual Machine

test-03

 

Put all the required details in here (should be fairly obvious) and click OK

test-04

 

Click Next

test-05

 

Here I only got one Storage Resource, click Next

test-06

 

Select the newly created network and select an IP Assignment

  • Static – IP Pool : It will give the VM an IP from the Pool (here 10.0.0.100-199). You will need to customize the VM in order for it to assign it (give you are installing this VM from scratch)
  • Static – Manual : As mentioned, I will be installing the VM from scratch via iso anyway so there is no need to use an IP from the pool and re-customize the OS just for the same of an IP – so I will use this option. I will give my VM the same IP so IF I customize the VM, it will always use the same IP.
  • DHCP : Your vShield Edge has a DHCP server which can be enabled / configured.

 

So here I go with Static – Manual and give it an IP

test-07

 

I go with the defaults and hit Next

test-08

 

At the overview, click Finish

test-09

 

It will now create the VM

test-10

 

Which should be fairly quick. Now start your vApp (note: a vApp can contain multiple VMs)

test-11

 

When you click the Console now, you are likely being asked to download the console plugin

test-13

 

Download the plugin, close your browser and install it. Then back to your vApp

So when you click the console, you should see the .. well .. console

test-12

 

So here you can see I forgot to mention that we actually need to mount the iso 😀

Go into your vApp by clicking the name

Right click your VM and select Insert CD/DVD from Catalog…

test-13

 

Select the earlier imported ISO and click Insert

test-14

 

Now back to your console. A quick CTRL-ALT-DEL and we are ready to go

Just showing the CTRL-ALT-DEL combo here, doesn’t mean you should click it when you see the install screen 🙂

test-15

 

Now install your VM. For the network make sure you use the details we configured on the internal interface of the Edge Gateway

test-16

 

Once the VM is up and running you should be able to ping the interwebs.

edge-25

 

That’s it. Now you have a basic vCloud Director infrastructure running.
