HyAlto allows you to create a vCloud Director catch-all solution that you can use to map existing virtual data centres (VDC) into HyAlto during a brownfield exercise.
Step 1: From your HyAlto portal, click Marketplace, then Solutions.
Step 2: In the top right corner, click the orange Add button to add a new solution. Select the appropriate VDC allocation model from the available solution types in the drop-down menu then click Select.
Note: You will require a unique solution for each VDC type in your datacenter.
Step 3: Under Name, write out the name of the solution for your own personal reference.
Step 4: Select the currency that you wish to use for your solution, then add a logo or image. HyAlto will adjust the image or logo you select to the proper dimensions automatically. Click Next.
Step 5: Select your virtual datacenter from the drop-down, then click Next.
Step 6: In the name field, you may enter a default machine name for this catch-all solution.
Step 7: Select the minimum and maximum values for RAM that fit the existing virtual datacenter you would like to brownfield into HyAlto. Leave the increments to the default values. The minimum/maximum values matter when mapping a catch-all solution but increments and resource guarantees can be left at default values.
Note: HyAlto will change the numbers automatically based on the increment value you select.
Step 8: Select the minimum and maximum values that fit the existing virtual datacenters that you want to brownfield. Leave the default increment values next to Compute.
Step 9: Choose the appropriate Network Pool from the drop-down and leave the provisioning boxes unchecked.
Step 10: Select a name for the storage policy and choose the minimum and maximum values, and leave the default increment values. If you wish to have multiple policies, add them by clicking on the Add Storage Policy button below. Click Next.
Step 11: Keep the solution unavailable by keeping this box unselected. Leave the drop-down unselected as well, then click Submit in the bottom right.
Your vCloud catch-all solution is now ready.
