This is great, I'll recommend your videos to all VMware engineers. Look forward to the next ones deploying a workload & hopefully an SDDC upgrade of environment
Thanks very much. Make sure they subscribe. :). As for upgrades. I would love to do one, I will have to see if the S/W I get from VMUG will allow us to do upgrades - I know in the past it didn't. Thanks again and have a good one.
Thanks a lot, I have just one question how this network validations runs like suppose for vMotion VLAN, from where this validations run from the cloud-builder vm or from the esxi hypervisor ?
Excellent question. To be perfectly honest I am not sure. I have not done a deep dive into the scripts to understand exzactly how things are being validated. For example I know the Default g/w on the vMotion and vSAN networks are checked, but were is it being check from the ESXi host or the Cloud-builder.. IF I find out, I will update this. Thanks again for watching and have a good one.
@@devendrapatil07 Not to my knowledge, but I never looked around. Your switches will need to be configured with Trunks and Jumbo frames support.. You may want to look at the NSX reference Design guide. nsx.techzone.vmware.com/resource/nsx-reference-design-guide?check_logged_in=1
Good point, but that assumes Cloud builder is pinging the gateway and not a host set up with the proper ip and physical nic... I am not sure how the actual tests / validations are done. I have not done a deep dive on that as of yet.. If you try this out, please let us know your findings.. Thanks
Thanks alot. Appreciated. I have a 2 questions: 1. Regarding the spreadsheet, it did not ask about the disk groups its going to create for the VSAN. What if we have more than 1 capacity disk (3 or more ) and what if we want to have RAID 5 or RAID 6 for 2 disk groups ? (not .json) Because, their is a possibility that we may need more storage if we are choosing the Cosolidated Architecture. 2. Can we change any of the parameters that we mentioned in the spreadsheet after the successfully deployed Management domain. Eg. IP address or a hostname.
Thanks for watching. Great question. Everything is done based on the VMware Validated Designs.. So it will grab the drive and make multiple disk groups. As for RAID 5/6 - that is not done at the disk group level - it is done at the storage policy level and assigned to the VM(s). After the deployment, you can add more disk groups if required.. As for changing Host names and IP's.. Not a good practice, and I would assume it is not supported.. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Have a good one..
Good Day Im following your video to built my own nested lab using workstation. I got stuck on creating the ESXi host How do we configure the vSan part (Cache and capacity) using the workstation. I see you have given 30 GB for Boot , 100 GB for flash and 1000 GB for capacity Specifying this on workstation and adding the same in worksheet (cloud builder) Will it create the vSan datatore ? Without doing any additional configuration ?
If it failed on the vSAN config, make sure the drives you have for each host are recognized as Flash.. You can select the drives and mark them as flash if they show up as HDD. Thanks for watching. Have a good one
It is really good video for VCF learning for all level. Thank you for your video
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching and have a good one

Now, i understand it. So, ESX hosts are preconfigured before deploy cloudbuilder, Steve. Thanks. This is Zaw from Myanmar
Glad to hear it. Have a great day at Myanmar

@@TechUnGlued Also is there any guide for physical network i.e for switch configs, I need to deploy this on my on-prem servers. Not on nested vlans.

Inter-VLAN routing need to be enabled between the VLANs(using in spreadsheet) ?
Not really. For example my vSAN, vMotion, Management and Overlay network don;t need to talk to each other
@@TechUnGlued then how the cloud builder vm will able to ping the gateway?
Good point, but that assumes Cloud builder is pinging the gateway and not a host set up with the proper ip and physical nic... I am not sure how the actual tests / validations are done. I have not done a deep dive on that as of yet.. If you try this out, please let us know your findings.. Thanks
@@TechUnGlued Yeah I am also curious to know how cloud builder vm will able to ping gateway without inter vlan communication.
Thanks alot. Appreciated.
