•Connecting to the vCenter Server

•Disconnecting From the vCenter Server

•Removing the DVS from the vCenter Server

•Removing the DVS from the vCenter Server When the VSM Is Not Connected

•Configuring Host Mapping

•Verifying Connections

•Verifying the Domain

•Verifying the Configuration

•Verifying Module Information

•Feature History for Server Connections

Information About Server Connections

In order to connect to vCenter Server or an ESX server, you must first define the connection in the Cisco Nexus 1000V including the following:

•A connection name

•The protocol used

•The server IP address

•The server DNS name

•The datacenter name

All communication with vCenter Server is secured by the TLS protocol.

Guidelines and Limitations

Server connections have the following configuration guidelines and limitations:

•A single VSM can only connect to one vCenter server at a time. A single VSM cannot connect to multiple vCenter servers at once.

Connecting to the vCenter Server

Use this procedure to configure a connection and then connect to vCenter server or an ESX server.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.

•You know the datacenter name.

•The vCenter Server management station is installed and running.

•You know the vCenter Server IP address or hostname.

•The ESX servers are installed and running.

•The management port is configured.

•The vCenter Server is reachable from the Cisco Nexus 1000V.

•The Cisco Nexus 1000V appliance is installed.

•If you are configuring a connection using a hostname, DNS is already configured.

•You have already registered an extension with the vCenter Server. The extension includes the extension key and public certificate for the VSM. vCenter Server uses these to verify the authenticity of the request it receives from the VSM. For instructions about adding and registering an extension, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Software Installation Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(4b).

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command
Description

Step 1 

config t 

 
      
Example: 
n1000v# config t 
n1000v(config)# 
 
     
 Places you into global configuration mode. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 2  
 		 
     
svs connection name 
 
Example: 
n1000v (config#) svs connection VC 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) 
 
     
 Places you into connection configuration mode for adding this connection between Cisco Nexus 1000V and either a particular ESX server or the vCenter Server. By using a name, information for multiple connections can be stored in the configuration. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 3  
 		 
     
protocol vmware-vim [http] 
 
Example: 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) protocol vmware-vim 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) 
 
     
 Specifies that this connection uses the VIM protocol. This command is stored locally. 
 
 •http: Specifies that the VIM protocol runs over HTTP. The default is to use HTTP over SSL (HTTPS). 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 4  
 		 
     
 Do one of the following: 
 
 •If you are configuring an IP address, go to Step 5. 
 
 •If you are configuring a hostname, go to Step 6. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 5  
 		 
     
remote ip address ipaddress 
 
Example: 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) remote ip address 192.168.0.1 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) 
 
 Go to Step 7. 
 		 
     
 Specifies the IP address of the ESX server or vCenter Server for this connection. This command is stored locally. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 6  
 		 
     
remote hostname hostname 
 
Example: 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) remote hostname vcMain 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) 
 
     
 Specifies the DNS name of the ESX server or vCenter Server for this connection. This command is stored locally. 
 
 Note DNS is already configured. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 7  
 		 
     
vmware dvs datacenter-name [folder/] name 
 
Example: 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) vmware dvs datacenter-name Hamilton-DC 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) 
 
     
 Identifies the datacenter name in the vCenter Server where Cisco Nexus 1000V is to be created as a distributed virtual switch (DVS). You can use this command before or after connecting. The datacenter name is stored locally. 
 
 Note The Nexus 1000V folder name should be same in the vCenter Server and in the VSM. If the Nexus 1000V folder is renamed in the vCenter Server, it must also be renamed in the VSM. 
 		 
    
 
    
 
     
 Step 8  
 		 
     
connect 
 
Example: 
n1000v(config-svs-conn#) connect 
 
 
     
 Initiates the connection. If the username and password have not been configured for this connection, the user is prompted for a username and password. 
 
 The default is no connect. There can be only one active connection at a time. If a previously-defined connection is up, an error message displays and the command is rejected until the user closes the previous connection by entering no connect.

 Removing the DVS from the vCenter Server When the VSM Is Not Connected 
 
  
 
 Use this procedure to remove the DVS from the vCenter Server when the VSM does not have connectivity to the vCenter Server. 
 
  
 
 Configuring the ability to delete the DVS when the VSM is not connected to the vCenter Server is a two-step process: 
 
  
 
  1. Configure the admin user or group. See the "Configuring the DVS Admin User or DVS Admin Group" procedure. 
 
  
 
  2. Remove the DVS from the vCenter Server. See the "Removing the DVS from the vCenter Server With the DVS Admin Account" procedure. 
 
   
  
 
 BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
 
  
 
 •You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode. 
 
  
 
 •You have logged in the vCenter Server. 
 
  
 
 •The admin user or group account has been configured on the vCenter Server. 
 
   
  
  
 
 Configuring the DVS Admin User or DVS Admin Group 
 
  
 
 Use this procedure to configure a DVS admin user or DVS admin group. 
 
   
  
 
 BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
 
  
 
 •Ensure that the System Administrator has created an admin user or admin group on the vCenter Server to manage and delete the DVS. This user should not be given any other permissions like deploying VMs or hosts, etc. The admin user name configured on the VSM should be the same as the user name on the vCenter Server.

 •Mapping to a New Host 
 
  
 
 •Viewing Host Mapping 
 
   
  
  
 
 Information about Host Mapping 
 
  
 
 When a VSM detects a new VEM, it automatically assigns a free module number to the VEM and then maintains the mapping between the module number and UUID of a host server. This mapping is used to assign the same module number to a given host server. 
 
   
  
  
 
 Removing Host Mapping from a Module 
 
  
 
 Use this procedure to remove the mapping of a module to a host server. 
 
   
  
 
 BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
 
  
 
 •You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode. 
 
  
 
 •You have already removed the host from the Cisco Nexus 1000V DVS on vCenter.
