Create an NSX-T manager health check within AVI: As previously mentioned in this post AVI and heath check we want the ability to run an API health check against each node of the pool (NSX manager nodes). Before we create the virtual service we need to create a health monitor
Continue readingThe NSX-T Management Cluster comprises of three NSX-T Manager nodes to provide high availability and scalability. To support a single access point for the NSX-T Manager user interface and API, you can assign a VIP address for the NSX-T Management Cluster. Once the VIP is set, any UI and API
Continue readingIn this post, we will go through the process of deploying an AVI Controller cluster. The reason for deploying this as a cluster is to emulate a production deployment. AVI is supported on a single controller, but you lose control plane high availability. If your resource-constrained in your lab (AVI
Continue readingIntroduction Server & infrastructure automation now plays an essential role in systems administration due to the disposable nature of modern environments. Tools such as Ansible are typically used to streamline the process of automating server setup by establishing standard procedures for new servers while also reducing human error associated with manual setups. It
Continue readingService Engines are created within a group, which contains the definition of how the SEs should be sized, placed, and made highly available. Each cloud will have at least one SE group. The options within an SE group may vary based on the type of cloud within which they exist
Continue readingIn this section i will explain how to deploy an NSXALB controller and form a cluster. Once the cluster has been created we can deploy the (Data plane) Services Engines and the load balancers. Process: Deploy the Controllers Configure first controller node Configure Cluster Deploy the Controllers: Download the ova
Continue readingThe NSX-ALB Controller is the single point of management and control that serves as the “brain” of the entire system and for high availability is typically deployed as a three-node cluster. As its name implies, the Controller implements the control plane. A single NSX-ALB deployment is managed from this Controller/cluster
