The Server Manager builds a topology of the deployed vCD components. The topology objects represent the vCD deployed components, their relationships, and their association with tenants and virtual infrastructure.
Note: Refer
VMware Smart Assurance SAM, IP, ESM, MPLS, NPM, OTM, ACM, MCAST, and VoIP Managers Support Matrix guide, to know the supported version of vCD, qualified in this release for Server Manager.
vCD topology objects include:
- VirtualAppliance: A vApp is an application container containing one or more virtual machines.
- OrganizationVDC: Organization vDC allocates resources to organization. An organization vDC is partitioned from a provider vDC.
- ProviderVDC: A Provider VDC is a collection of compute, memory, and storage resources from one vCenter server. A Provider VDC provides resources to organization VDCs.
- Tenant: User of cloud computing service, who shares resources and cost of underlying hardware resources like compute, storage and network with other users.
- CloudController: Represents vCloud Director, which is deployment, automation and management software for virtual infrastructure resources in multi-tenant cloud environments.
