This demo demonstrates the capability for HCX to migrate workloads from a vSphere environment to a VMware Cloud Director\u200b organization VCD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source site is named Bastia and the target site is named Toulouse\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

HCX Connector and HCX Cloud are used for this demo\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Disaster Recovery feature is unsupported for a configuration with VMware Cloud Director<\/em>\u200b<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is necessary to apply this demo ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the source site we need at least one Esxi host with the vCenter appliance, HCX Connector appliance and external services (DNS and NTP) installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the target site we need a cluster that can integrate the vCenter appliance, HCX Cloud instance, external services (DNS and NTP), NSX, Cloud Director and then a RabbitMQ server installed and configured in VCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An organization VCD must be created and ready for the incoming workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HCX Connector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    About HCX Connector, the appliance is installed to the source site. It can be replaced by the HCX Cloud appliance if NSX is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HCX Connector manages<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Service Mesh creation\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Migration task\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Network extension creation\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Service Mesh Resync and update\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      HCX Cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      About HCX Cloud, the appliance is installed to the target site. NSX is mandatory to install HCX Cloud<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      During the setup HCX Cloud is connected to vSphere or Cloud Director. In our case it has be connected to Cloud Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      RabbitMQ server is mandatory for a setup with VCD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Organisation VDC has to be configured in cloud Director before the setup of HCX Cloud\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is the end of the first part, in the second part we will continue with information about the site pairing, the service mesh and the types of migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
