Configuring the AFM Plug-in for VMware vCenter

as a Virtual Appliance

You can deploy the Active Fabric Manager (AFM) plug-in as a virtual appliance on a VMware ESX virtual machine (VM).

The instructions in this document assume you have already installed and configured an AFM-VDS or VDS host where

you plan to run the AFM VDS CLI. For additional information about installing and configuring the ESX virtual host

machine, consult the VMware documentation.

AFM Hardware Requirements

Disk Space 1TB 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5 Hot Plug Hard Drive

System Type 64-bit operating system

Processor Intel Xeon E5620 2.4Ghz, 12M Cache,Turbo, HT, 1066MHz Max Memory

Memory 32GB Memory (8x4GB), 1333MHz Dual Ranked LV RDIMMs for two processors, Advanced ECC

Virtual Appliance Requirements

The AFM plug-in runs as a virtual appliance. It requires the following software to host the solution:

• VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.0 and higher (must meet virtual appliance, port access, and listening port

requirements)

NOTE: VMware vCenter is required for high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT).

Deploy the OVF with HA and FT

NOTE: HA is not required. However, Dell Networking strongly recommends a dual-server configuration with HA for

resiliency.

The following are required to implement HA and FT using a VMware ESX VM:

• VMware vCenter 5.0 Standard License

• ESXi 5.0 Enterprise Plus License

• Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) or Fiber Channel Central Storage

• Shared storage for the open virtualization format (OVF)

NOTE: By default, the AFM VM central processing unit (CPU) is set to 2. To use the HA feature, change the virtual

CPU to 1.
