Deploy GigaVUE V Series Nodes using GigaVUE-FM

After you create a monitoring domain in GigaVUE‑FM for VMware NSX-T, GigaVUE‑FM establishes a connection with the VMware NSX-T manager and launches the VMware NSX-T Fabric Deployment page.

For details, refer to Create Monitoring Domain for VMware NSX-T

Deploy GigaVUE V Series Node from GigaVUE‑FM

Launch the VMware Fabric Launch Configuration page and deploy.

To deploy,

1. Launch the VMware Fabric Launch Configuration page using one of the following options:

   • Create a Monitoring domain and you are immediately navigated to the VMware Fabric Launch Configuration page.
   • On the Monitoring Domain page, go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > VMware NSX-T (V Series) and select Actions > Deploy Fabric.

2. On the VMware Fabric Launch Configuration page, select or enter the following details:

   Field	Description
   Deployment Name	Name of the deployment (NSX-T service deployment)
   Datacenter	vCenter Data Center with the NSX-T hosts provisioned with V Series nodes
   Cluster	Cluster where you want to deploy GigaVUE V Series Nodes
   Enable Custom Certificates	Enable this option to validate the custom certificate during SSL Communication. GigaVUE‑FM validates the Custom certificate with the trust store. If the certificate is not available in Trust Store, communication does not happen, and a handshake error occurs. Note:  If the certificate expires after the successful deployment of the fabric components, then the fabric components move to failed state.
   Custom SSL Certificate Note:  This field appears only when Enable Custom Certificates is enabled.	Select the custom certificate from the drop-down menu. You can also upload the custom certificate for GigaVUE V Series Nodes. For details, refer to Install Custom Certificate.
   Datastore	Network datastore shared among all NSX-T hosts in a cluster.
   SSL Key	Reserved for future use.
   Name Server	The server that stores the mapping between the domain names and the IP address. You can enter a maximum of three name servers. Enter the valid IPv4 address, separated by comma.
   Management
   Network	Management network for GigaVUE V Series Nodes
   IP Type	Select the management network IP type as Static or DHCP
   IP Pool Note:  This field appears only when the Management IP type is Static.	Select the IP Pool
   MTU	The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum size of each packet that you can transfer as a single entity in a network connection. Enter value between 1280 to 9000.
   Tunnel
   Network	Tunnel Network for the V Series nodes
   IP Type	Select the tunnel network IP address type as Static or DHCP
   Gateway IP (optional)	Gateway IP address of the Tunnel Network
   IP Pool Note:  This field appears only when the Tunnel IP type is Static.	Select the IP Pool
   MTU	The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum size of each packet that you can transfer as a single entity in a network connection. Enter value between 1280 to 9000.

   Service Attachment	Service segment created in VMware NSX-T Manager. For details, refer to Create a Service Segment in VMware NSX-T.
   Deployment Type	Type of GigaVUE V Series Node deployment. The options available are Clustered or Host-Based deployment type. Note:  Select the deployment type as Clustered if you wish to increase or decrease the number of nodes in a cluster using GigaVUE‑FM. For details, refer Deploy GigaVUE V Series Nodes using GigaVUE-FM .
   Deployment Count (for Clustered deployment type)	Number of GigaVUE V Series Nodes (Service Instances) to deploy

3. Select Deploy.

After deployment, the GigaVUE V Series Node appears on the Monitoring Domain page under the Deployment Name on the selected Monitoring Domain. You can click on the deployment name on the Monitoring Domain page to select the corresponding service deployment.
