Dell EMC VMware Cloud Foundation for PowerEdge MX7000 Deployment Guide

PDF

Management host

The deployment of VMware Cloud Foundation is executed by a Cloud Builder VM that is deployed using an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA). The virtual machine must be deployed on an ESXi host or cluster that is not a part of the Cloud Foundation cluster. If the management network is a private network (as it is in this example), then deploy an NTP server and a DHCP server on a management host.

In this example, a host in an existing vSphere environment is used to run the services that are required to install Cloud Foundation. The management VLAN and VXLAN VLAN are extended to this management host. An NTP time server is installed on the management VLAN and a DHCP server on the VXLAN VLAN.
