Abiquo can manage VMware hypervisors in your multi-cloud platform with VMware hosts at different levels as:

  • vCenter server hosts

  • vCenter clusters (as hosts)

Abiquo can also work with NSX-T to create network configurations such as firewalls, load balancers, and NAT.

...

You can add VMware vCenter clusters directly as hosts, so Abiquo will use vCenter clusters instead of individual vCenter servers. When you create a physical machine/hypervisor host in Abiquo for a cluster, select VMware vCenter cluster.

...

For vCenter clusters, you must use dvSwitches (VMware distributed virtual switches or VDSs). Abiquo will retrieve the dVSwitches from the cluster itself, not from the individual hosts.

Optionally, configure the properties for the dVSwitches (see Abiquo configuration properties and search for .dvs.).

...

Abiquo should discover and list all of the datastores that you will use for deploying VMs. Abiquo expects to be able to identify each datastore with a UUID, so it will try to create a UUID folder on each datastore.

...

  • datastore is accessible

  • datastore is mounted as read/write on all hosts in the cluster or the current host

  • datastore is not in maintenance mode

...

To add, update, and delete datastores, refresh the datastores on the host in Abiquo:

  1. Edit the physical machine, and go to the Datastores

...

  1.  tab

  2. Click the round arrow refresh button. 

To delete a datastore, make sure it is empty and not attached to the host.

...

Log in to the Abiquo Remote Services server (or for a Monolithic installation, log in to the Abiquo Server) and set the appropriate properties for your system to appropriate values in the the /opt/abiquo/config/abiquo.properties file.
