vCenter


What is vCenter?

VMware Management manipulates VMware vCenter via VMware public APIs and seamlessly integrates some features of VMware vCenter Server to achieve a unified management of multiple virtualization platforms on ZStack Cloud. If you deployed a VMware vCenter Server, you can use VMware Management of ZStack Cloud to take over the VMware vCenter Server. Then you can view vSphere servers and virtual machines managed by the VMware vCenter Server, use VMware vSphere resources in the virtual data center, and perform operations on virtual machines in the VMware Center clusters.

  • The VMware Management feature is provided in a separate module. Before you can use this feature, you need to purchase the Plus License of VMware Management, in addition to the Base License.
  • ZStack Cloud supports multiple vCenter versions, including 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 6.7, and 7.0.
    Note: If you took over vCenter 7.0, to ensure that the VM console can open properly, we recommend that you download the trusted root CA certificate when you log into vCenter.

Concepts

  • vSphere: an enterprise-class virtualization platform provided by VMware. It can convert a data center into an integrated computing infrastructure that includes compute, storage, and network resources. VMware vSphere consists of a batch of software applications, with ESXi and Center being the two core components.
  • EXSi: type 1 hypersivor (bemetal hypervisor) that is installed directly on a baremetal server. It allows the creation and management of multiple virtual machines on an ESXi host.
  • vCenter Server: a centralized management platform of physical and virual resources on a VMware vCenter. It allows one-click access and management of ESXi hosts, virtual machines, datastores, networks, and other resources.

External Access Fundamentals

ZStack Cloud sends cloud resource control requests to a vCenter by using the asynchronous event listening methods and receives the returned event contents. In addition, ZStack Cloud can also receive contents that are intuitively pushed by vCenters. This way, ZStack Cloud achieves bidirectional data synchronization.
