Host names and IP addresses for the virtual infrastructure
layer
Most of the virtual infrastructure components that are installed by Cloud Foundation require their hostnames and IP addresses to be
dened before deployment.
During the initial deployment of Cloud Foundation, the management domain is created and you must dene components specic to the
management domain before installation.
After the initial deployment, additional workload domains are created and you must dene components specic to each additional workload
domain.
Planning ahead for the initial deployment and the workload domains to be created avoids delays in deployment.
The following table provides an example of the information for the virtual infrastructure layer using the standard deployment model with a
single workload domain. This example uses a DNS domain called rainpole.local for illustration purposes. Modify the sample
information to conform to the conguration of your site.
