At the Review step of the wizard, review the information about the workload domain and start the creation workflow. You can also print the information or download a printable version to print later. It can take up to two hours for the domain to be created.

The Review page displays information about the resources and their configurations that are deployed when the workflow creates and deploys the virtual infrastructure for this workload domain.

The hosts that will be added to the workload domain are listed along with information such as the network pool they belong to, memory, CPU, and so on.

Procedure

  1. Scroll down the page to review the information.
  2. Click Finish to begin the creation process.

    The Workload Domains page appears, and a notification is displayed letting you know that VI workload domain is being added. Click View Task Status to view the domain creation tasks and sub tasks.

    If a task fails, you can fix the issue and rerun the task. If the workload domain creation fails, contact VMware Support.
    Note: Multiple VMkernels are created to test the vMotion network, which may cause changes in the MAC addresses and IP address relations. If MAC address filtering is enabled on your physical infrastructure, this may cause issues such as vMotion network connectivity validation failure.

What to do next

If you have multiple instances of SDDC Manager that are joined to the same Single Sign-On (SSO) domain, you must take steps to ensure that certificates are installed correctly. See Configure Certificates for a Shared Single Sign-On Domain.

Deploy and configure an NSX Edge cluster. See NSX Edge Cluster Management.
