View as Markdown

Requirements

  • Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel to manage your NSX Edges.
  • Use of VMware NSX 4.1.1 to access customization options.
  • Get a basic understanding of VMware concepts and NSX Edge features.

 

General Overview

Default Configuration

When creating a VMware environment, OVHcloud automatically provides:

  • 2 Medium NSX Edges:

    • 4 vCPU
    • 8 GB RAM

This default configuration meets most standard requirements for connectivity and network security.

 

Customization

You can adapt your infrastructure to meet your specific needs:

  1. NSX Edge Sizes:

    • Medium: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
    • Large: 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM.
    • XL: 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM.

  2. Number of NSX Edges:

    • Minimum: 2 (default configuration).
    • Maximum: Up to 10 NSX Edges per cluster.

 

Limitations

  • 1 NSX Edge cluster per vDC.

  • 10 NSX Edges maximum per cluster (Broadcom/VMware limitation).

  • NSX version 4.0.1 does not support:

    • Ordering new vDCs under NSX 4.1.1.
    • Modifying or adding NSX Edges.

 

Instructions

Log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel. Navigate to the NSX Edge Nodes tab by clicking Hosted Private Cloud > Managed VMware vSphere > your PCC > the Datacenters tab > your datacenter.

NOTE: This process can take quite some time. During the resizing, you will see a mix of node sizes until the process is complete.
