The NSX Advanced Load Balancer Controller uploads the Service Engine image to the content library on the vCenter server and uses this to create a new virtual machine (VM) every time a new Service Engine is required. The content library must be created on vCenter before configuring the NSX-T cloud.

Procedure

  1. In the vCenter vSphere client, navigate to Content Libraries.
  2. Click Create. The New Content Library wizard opens.
  3. In the Name and location page, enter the Name and select a vCenter Server instance for the content library.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the Configure content library page, select Local content library.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Add storage page, select datastore as a storage location for the library contents.
  8. Click Next.
  9. In the Ready to complete page, review the details.
  10. Click Finish.

What to do next

Note:

In a single Controller cluster, if you need to have both vCenter and NSX-T cloud types, then it is recommended to have a dedicated content library for vCenter and NSX-T clouds respectively.
