Adding new host with VMware hypervisor

Hi,

Our test environment has two hosts, VMware vCenter hypervisor and using ACS
4.9.2.

I have to a question about adding new host. After I add a new host, I
should do some settings or system will works without any problem ?

Thanks,
Tolga

With XenServer I add my news hosts to the in XenCenter then once all hosts have been added I go into Cloudstack -> Infrastructure -> Hosts and add one host and the rest of my new hosts are added.  I believe it’s the same with vmware.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. After add new host to VMware, Should I do Infrastructure - hosts- add host or Does Cloudstack understand new added host and automatically register it to its system?

Thanks,
Tolga,

When the new host has a different network config, Add it to a new cluster in the vCenter and then add that Cluster in ACS with cluster override traffic labels for guest and public traffic. Refer the params: guestvswitchname, guestvswitchtype, publicvswitchname and publicvswitchtype parameters in addCluster API. ACS would automatically discover the current hosts in the newly added cluster and add them. Follow the steps in below email for adding hosts in that cluster thereon.

c. Add host into cluster in ACS using host name as seen in vCenter client. A host tag can be specified at that time. To authenticate to the host ACs will use vSphere credentials cached for the cluster.

With vmware clusters the behavior is the following:
1. When a new cluster is added all ESX hosts in the cluster are automatically discovered and added to ACS with no host tag. If a tag is needed it needs to be added to each host individually
2.  To add an additional host to a cluster
a. Add host in vSphere matching network config of other hosts e.g. if vDs is used new host needs to be added to vDS before proceeded to the next step
b. All hosts in the cluster should have the same name for Management portgroup and match ACS global setting ‘vmware.managment.portgroup’. The default is ‘Management Network’
c. Add host into cluster in ACS using host name as seen in vCenter client. A host tag can be specified at that time. To authenticate to the host ACs will use vSphere credentials cached for the cluster.

I believe you've to add it from cloudstack as well. Only adding at
hyper-visor level doesn't make it visible in cloud

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. After add new host to VMware, Should I do
Infrastructure - hosts- add host or Does Cloudstack understand new added
host and automatically register it to its system?

Thanks,

All should work after the addition without any further changes.
