vCloud Director for SP 8.20 - Network Pools

[PayableOnDeath]

Hi,

I am trying to setup vCloud Director 8.20 with NSX 6.3, once we have added our provider VDC we are unable to setup a network pool. The error is related to the hosts not being prepared for VXLAN.

My understanding is that NSX base would allow same features as vShield would so we should be able to setup vCloud director with VLXAN backed network pool so that customers can create their own networks.

The current "NSX for vShields Endpoints" (NSX base?) licence won't let me install the VXLAN components on to the hosts.

Is it the case that we would have to go up to NSX Standard so that we can have VXLAN based isolated networks for our vCloud customers as we would have if we had a previous version of vCloud setup?

Regards

David

Would you be able to provide the log entries when the error appears that the hosts are not prepared?

Hi,

Could you please check the Space on ESXi host ?

Hello,

you need to add a Valid NSX License (minimum - NSX vor vSphere - Standard) to prepare your Hosts for VXLAN, then you have to Configure "VXLAN transport" and "Segemnt ID" before vCd can create the "Transport Zone".
