Create racks
Before you add a Physical Machine to a Datacenter, you need to create the Rack it will belong to.
A rack is a logical set of Physical Machines providing the same level of compute service.
Each rack also defines a VLAN pool for all the physical machines inside the rack. This pool is used to provide Private networks to Virtual Datacenters.
To create a rack:
Privilege: Access infrastructure view and Private DCs, View datacenter details, Manage datacenter infrastructure elements
- Go to Infrastructure → Private → select a datacenter
- At the bottom of the Physical servers list, click the + add button and select Rack
- Enter the Name and optional values
- Go to Network
- For Network ID min and Network ID max, enter the range of the VLAN or VXLAN tags to use on this rack for private networks
- In Excluded VLAN IDs, enter a comma-separated list of ranges (with a dash "-") and/or individual tags that you will use for other networks.
- In Reserved VLANs per VDC enter the number of VLANs that you expect VDCs to use. Note that this is not a real reservation, but it will prevent the creation of too many VDCs on the rack!
- In VLAN pool size enter the number of VLANs to reserve for VDCs that use more than the expected number
- Click Save
