NOTE: Cloud Foundation deploys vRealize Suite products to a dedicated VLAN-backed vSphere Distributed Port Group. The IP
subnet must be routable to the Cloud Foundation management network and the rewall. Also, the networks should be disabled or
congured as prescribed in the Cloud Foundation documentation.
Host names and IP addresses
Before deploying a Cloud Foundation, or creating or expanding a workload domain, you must dene the hostnames and IP addresses for
various system components.
Most of the dened hostnames and IP addresses need to exist in DNS and be resolvable, through forward and reverse lookups.
The required hostnames and IP addresses are categorized as follows:
• External services—services that are external to the Cloud Foundation solution and are required for proper operation.
• Virtual infrastructure layer—components that provide for the basic foundation of the Cloud Foundation solution.
• Operations management layer—components used for day-to-day management of the environment, for example, vRealize Operations.
• Cloud management layer—services that use the infrastructure layer resources, for example, vRealize Automation.
Host names and IP addresses for external services
External services such as Active Directory (AD) and NTP must be accessible and resolvable by IP Address and Fully Qualied Domain Name
(FQDN). Acquire the hostnames and IP addresses for AD and NTP before deploying Cloud Foundation.
Allocate hostnames and IP addresses to the following components:
• NTP
• AD
• DNS
• Certicate Authority (CA)
The following table provides sample information for the external services. This example uses a DNS domain called rainpole.local for
illustration purposes. Modify the sample information to conform to the conguration of your site.
