VLAN Support

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter supports hypervisor deployment to a routable VLAN. Configure VLAN support in the Deployment Wizard. In this portion of the Deployment Wizard, there is an option to specify use of VLANs and to specify a VLAN ID. When a VLAN ID is provided, it is applied to the hypervisor's management interface during deployment and tags all traffic with the VLAN ID.

Make sure that the VLAN provided during deployment communicates with both the virtual appliance and the vCenter server. The deployment of a hypervisor to a VLAN that cannot communicate to one or both of these destinations causes the deployment to fail.

If you have selected multiple bare-metal servers in a single deployment job and want to apply the same VLAN ID to all the servers then on the Server Identification portion of the Deployment Wizard, under Default Settings, use the Apply settings to all selected servers button. This option lets you apply the same VLAN ID along with the other network settings to all the servers in that deployment job.

NOTE: The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter does not support a multi-homed configuration. Adding a second network interface to the appliance for communication with a second network causes problems for the work flows involving hypervisor deployment, server compliance, and firmware updates.
