This image ilustrates the network profiles for HCX-Management, HCX-vMotion, HCX-Replication, and HCX-Uplink.
At the top, arrayed horizontally, are five icons. The two icons at the end of this group are enclosed in a dotted-line box and are connected by opposite arrows, indicating a bi-directional relationship. The first three icons in the array are linked to a box labeled vSphere Distributed Switch. This box is then linked down to individual but connected Service Clusters.
There are three of these clusters, arrayed horizontally. The first and third clusters are linked upward to individual boxes labeled ESXi Mgmt. VMkernel Interface. Each cluster icon is comprised of three stacked images, to suggest a stack of machines. A line runs horizontally through each individual image in each stack, indicating their relationship. These lines, collectively labeled Cluster Networks, are individually labeled, top to bottom:
- ESXi Mgmt:x.x.x.x/? VLAN
- vMotion:x.x.x.x/? VLAN
- Replication:x.x.x.x/? VLAN
- HCX Services to Enable
- Plan Distributed Switches; this box is linked by solid line arrow to the vSphere Distributed Switch
- [Network Profiles]; this box contains a smaller box labeled [IP Range for HCX VMs] and is linked by three dotted line to each of the previously-described Cluster Networks.
- HCX Service Cluster(s); this box is linked by solid line arrow to the three service clusters.
- HCX Deployment Cluster; this box is linked by solid line arrow to an icon labeled Deployment Cluster, which is positioned directly beneath the third service cluster but not connected thereto.
- Deployment Datastore(s); this box is linked by solid line arrow to another box, labeled VM Datastores, directly beneath the Deployment Cluster icon but not connected thereto.
