Privileges: Manage virtual datacenters

  1. Go to myCloud view → Virtual datacenters

  2. Below the V. datacenters list, click the + add button

  3. Select Create a new virtual datacenter from the pull-down menu

  4. For the General information:

    1. For the Location select the datacenter or public cloud region to use

    2. For the Network select from:

      1. Default: Create a network (default private or external) using platform configurationthe default network settings. If the default network is an external network, also create a default private network.

      2. None: In private cloud only. Will do not create a private network

      3. Custom Private: Create a custom private network (see details below)

Create a virtual datacenter with no network

In private cloud, when When you create a virtual datacenter, with None selected for the Network, the platform does not create a default private network. But the platform will create the default virtual datacenter network for the

In private cloud, if the enterprise in the datacenter , if it is has another type of Default network, such as an external network, the platform will assign this network.

  • You can set the default network at Edit enterprise → Datacenters → edit datacenter → Default network.

If there is no network in the VDCvirtual datacenter, and the user tries to deploy a VM without a NIC, then the deploy will fail . To set the default network for the enterprise in a datacenter, edit the enterprise and go to Datacenters, and edit the datacenter, and go to Default network(because the platform cannot assign an IP address without a network).

...

The private network can be the Automatically-created private VLANnetwork, which is called default_private_network, or a custom private network, which will be set as the default network.

...

Field

Description

Name

The name of the network to create

Netmask

The network mask CIDR

Network address

The network address

Address range

The address space that the virtual datacenter can use in CIDR format.
This space will define the virtual network and the private networks will be subnets within this address space.

Gateway

The IP of the gateway of the network

Availability zone

The availability zone where VMs attached to this network will deploy

Primary DNS

The primary DNS of the network

Secondary DNS

The secondary DNS of the VLANnetwork

DNS suffix

The DNS suffix for the VLANnetwork

To manage the VLANs or other networks of your virtual datacenter or to change its default network, go to Virtual datacenters → Network. See Manage networks.

  • You cannot have a hard limit only

  • Soft limits must always be less than or equal to hard limits

  • When a limit is equal to 0, it means that there is no limit to resource usage at this level

  • When editing limits, you cannot set the hard limits below the existing resource usage, except for Local hard disk

...

After you create the virtual datacenter, you can edit it to change the default values.

Note that Abiquo will may use the enterprise’s default network in the cloud location datacenter as the default network for the new virtual datacenter.

...

If you are able to manage user roles, you can limit user access to a virtual datacenter for users that can have their virtual datacenters restricted (usually ordinary cloud users).
For example, you can give users read-only access.

Panel

Privileges: Manage roles, No VDC restriction

To limit access to a VDC virtual datacenter for cloud users:

  1. Go to myCloud → Virtual datacenters

  2. Create, edit, or onboard a virtual datacenter

  3. Go to Roles

    Create virtual datacenter with roles to restrict access
  4. For the Role, select a more restrictive role to replace user roles within this VDCvirtual datacenter.
    For example, to give users read-only access, select the ENTERPRISE_VIEWER role

  5. To create exceptions to the VDC role:

    1. Select a Username and an exception Role for the user

    2. Click Add

  6. When you finish creating or editing the virtual datacenter, click Save

Set a default network for a virtual datacenter

Each virtual datacenter requires a default network. The By default, the platform automatically creates a default private network for each virtual datacenter.
You . If you deploy a VM without assigning a NIC, the platform will add one from the default network.

After you create a virtual datacenter, you can configure the default network to be a private network, an external network, or a public network.

You can also pre-configure a default network for each enterprise in a datacenter .
If you deploy a VM without assigning a NIC, the platform will add one from the default network.to use in all their virtual datacenters.

To set a network as the default, you will require privileges to access this network in the virtual infrastructure.

...

  1. Go to Virtual datacenters → select virtual datacenter → Network

  2. Select the network type, such as Private, or Public

  3. Create or edit a network

  4. Select the Default network  network checkbox

    • This default will override the platform default network and the network set for the enterprise in the datacenter

    • The new default network will apply to all VMs deployed after you set it

    • For a public network that is the virtual datacenter default, obtain IP addresses for your VMs before you deploy

    • For an external network that is the virtual datacenter default, your administrator must create IP addresses in infrastructure for your VMs before you deploy
