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
On the far side of the image, is a box labeled HCX Compute Profile. Nested within this box are six smaller boxes, labeled,
top to bottom:
- 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.
The VM Datastores box contains five cloud database icons arrayed side-by-side. The end two icons are enclosed in a box labeled
HCX Deployment Datastores.
