Before you install and start using the VMware DVS plugin on Fuel, complete the
|
|
following steps:
|
|
|
|
#. Install and set up
|
|
`Fuel 9.0 <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/fuel-docs/userdocs/fuel-install-guide.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
#. Plan the vSphere integration. For details, see
|
|
`Mirantis OpenStack Planning Guide <https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-9.0/mos-planning-guide.html#plan-the-vsphere-integration>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
* `VMware vSphere 5.5 official documentation <http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp>`_
|
|
* `VMware vSphere in OpenStack Configuration Reference <http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/config-reference/compute/hypervisor-vmware.html>`_
|
|
|
|
#. Create a `vCenter service account <http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc%2FGUID-3B5AF2B1-C534-4426-B97A-D14019A8010F.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
#. In the vCenter service account, apply the following minimum privileges
|
|

|
|
|

This allows the VMware DVS plugin to use manipulation resources of VMware
|
|
vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS).
|
|
|
|
#. Create and properly configure VDSes on vCenter that will be used for
|
|
your environment. For details, see the VDS videos in the
|
|
:menuselection:`Technical Details -> Resources` section on the
|
|
`VMware Distributed Switch <https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/features/distributed-switch>`__
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
#. Connect the VMware DVS plugin to the pre-created and configured VDSes.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The VMware DVS plugin does not create new VDSes but uses the existing ones.
