Advanced network setup with CS and VSphere 5 - is this feasible?
I have a vSphere cluster with 3 nodes I'd like to add to CS
Since we are not using AWS like structure and more of an old fashioned typical corporate setup, I'm curious if its at all doable.
My Setup as follows:
3 vSphere hypervisors with following network setup
vSwitch0 - 2 NON-TRUNKED NICs associated
Management Network
No VLAN TAGGING
IP Range 10.0.1.x/24
vSwitch 2 - 2 TRUNKED NICs associated
DEV VLAN
VLAN TAG ID 1000
IP Range 10.0.2.x/23
MGMT VLAN
VLAN TAG ID 1100
IP Range 10.0.1.x/24 (same as above vSwitch0)
The above is a sample VSPhere architecture I have for Developers Cluster,
The goal is to be able to deploy VMs on both networks - DEV VLAN and MGMT VLAN by using Projects or Domains and associating it with CS TAGs.
I tried diving in to advanced networking, but cant seem to get it to work right no matter what I try. Hence I'm reaching out for help here.
Pretext:
I don't use dVs in this setup since CS does not yet support dVs. For sake of simplicity - this is a completely new zone. The management nodes of CS must reside on MGMT VLAN on vSwitch2.
As always, your feedback is appreciated,
Thanks

Thank you Kelven,
I'm trying this out now. I had a similar setup before, but the network offerings would not show up in cloudstack UI, I will try through APIs next.

It is feasible, if purely from CloudStack API perspectives, following steps may help you get there (I didn't really try it in CloudStack UI
though)
1) Create 2 physical networks, in each of these physical networks, add a guest traffic label, label it to vSwitch2, also tag the physical network, say, one as DEV, the other one as MGMT
2) Create 2 network service offering, tag the service offering the same as corresponding physical network, so that when a network is created, it can direct CloudStack to find the right physical network configuration for mapping
3) Create 2 shared networks, specify the VLAN you are going to assign along with a corresponding network offering
4) Deploy guest VM into the selected shared network

I promise to document this setup if I can get this to work successfully - so other folks like myself don't have to ask the same question twice :)

Your issue seems easy to address with either custom allocators, proper tag usage or direct api calls.
In my case, I can't get the groundwork to function properly..
Thank you for the feedback

If that functionality was included in the GUI, you could do the same thing at the POD level instead of at the Zone level. We are using XS instead of VMWare, but I'm sure you could do something similar.
