VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide

Software and Licensing Requirements

Users must have licenses for vCloud Director installation. vCenter Server and vSphere hosts can be run using an

evaluation license for a period of time. This enables users to experiment with all the features of the product

before deciding on a perpetual license.

Users must have access to the binaries for vCloud Networking and Security Manager, vCenter Server and

vCloud Director Appliance. They also must have a copy of a CentOS 6.3 LiveCD .iso image to use for testing.

Software Conﬁguration

It is expected that users have already conﬁgured the following management and resource cluster components

before beginning the procedures listed in this guide:

Management cluster – A vSphere environment has been created that is managed by an instance of

vCenter Server that contains at least one vSphere 5.1 host.

Resource cluster – Four vSphere 5.1 hosts have been installed.

In both cases, it is assumed that the appropriate storage and network connectivity is conﬁgured.

Because vCloud Director fully leverages secure communications between the various components, it is

important that the time on all the systems, including the vCloud Director database, is synchronized to a common

time source. Conﬁgure each virtual machine to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to maintain the clock within a

2-second drift of each other.

Security Considerations

The various software components that this guide uses have predeﬁned usernames and passwords. As a best

practice, these passwords should be changed from the default settings as soon as possible to enable the most

secure environment.

Evaluation Procedures

The evaluation is divided into ﬁve sections. Each section presents a series of tasks to be completed. Completion

of these tasks enables users to evaluate the core functionality of vCloud Director.

End

Because this guide is intended to walk users through an evaluation of vCloud Director, the procedures given

build upon each other. Therefore, the procedures are to be performed in the order presented unless

otherwise noted.
