Dell EMC VMware Cloud Foundation for PowerEdge MX7000 Deployment Guide
Host names and IP addresses
Before deploying a Cloud Foundation, or creating or expanding a workload domain, you must define the hostnames and IP addresses for various system components.
Most of the defined 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.
