The Compute vCenter instance is deployed on the management vSAN datastore TCP_MGMT_vSAN_DS in the Management vCenter TCP_MGMT_VC.

Prerequisites

  1. Download a copy of the vCenter installer file and mount the installer ISO to a local drive.

    Note:

    To download vCenter, see the Telco Cloud Platform Essentials or Advanced downloads page.

  2. Verify that the FQDN that you use with vCenter TCP_COMP_VC is registered in the DNS server for forward and reverse proxy.

  3. Verify that the FQDN and IP can be resolved.

  4. Verify that the ESXi is reachable from the system where the Compute vCenter installer is mounted.

  5. Verify that a network route is present between the Compute vCenter and the Management vCenter.

  6. Ensure that the NTP server is installed and configured.
