7 The VMwre vcloud Director Tennt Portl Guide provides informtion bout how to use the VMwre vcloud Director tennt portl. In this relese, you use the tennt portl to configure virtul mchines, vapps, nd networking cpbilities. You cn lso configure dvnced networking cpbilities tht re vilble in this relese of VMwre vcloud Director. These dvnced networking cpbilities re provided by VMwre NSX for vsphere within vcloud Director environment. Intended Audience This guide is intended for nyone who wnts to use the cpbilities provided in the tennt portl. The informtion is written primrily for orgniztion dministrtors who will use the tennt portl to mnge virtul mchines, vapps, networks, nd networking cpbilities for their orgniztion virtul dtcenter networks nd vapp networks. Relted Documenttion See the vcloud Director User's Guide for informtion bout the fetures nd cpbilities vilble to n orgniztion dministrtor using the vcloud Director Web console insted of the vcloud Director tennt portl.

8 Getting Strted with the 1 vcloud Director Tennt Portl When you log into the tennt portl, there re number of tsks you cn complete, from creting virtul mchines nd vapps, to setting up dvnced networking configurtion nd running vrelize Orchestrtor workflows. This chpter includes the following topics: Understnding VMwre vcloud Director Log In to the vcloud Director Tennt Portl Using the vcloud Director Tennt Portl Accessing Multiple Sites View Tsks Access vcloud Director Web Console Understnding VMwre vcloud Director VMwre vcloud Director provides role-bsed ccess to web-bsed tennt portl tht llows the members of n orgniztion to interct with the orgniztion's resources to crete nd work with vapps nd virtul mchines. Before you cn ccess your orgniztion, vcloud Director system dministrtor must crete the orgniztion, ssign it resources, nd provide the URL to ccess the tennt portl. Ech orgniztion includes one or more orgniztion dministrtors, who finish setting up the orgniztion by dding members nd setting policies nd preferences. After the orgniztion is set up, non-dministrtor users cn log in to crete, use, nd mnge virtul mchines nd vapps. Orgniztions An orgniztion is unit of dministrtion for collection of users, groups, nd computing resources. Users uthenticte t the orgniztion level, supplying credentils estblished by n orgniztion dministrtor when the user ws creted or imported. System dministrtors crete nd provision orgniztions, while orgniztion dministrtors mnge orgniztion users, groups, nd ctlogs. VMwre, Inc. 8

9 Users nd Groups An orgniztion cn contin n rbitrry number of users nd groups. Users cn be creted loclly by the orgniztion dministrtor or imported from directory service such s LDAP or vsphere Single Sign-On. Groups must be imported from the directory service. Permissions within n orgniztion re controlled through the ssignment of rights nd roles to users nd groups. Virtul Dtcenters An orgniztion virtul dtcenter provides resources to n orgniztion. Virtul dtcenters provide n environment where virtul systems cn be stored, deployed, nd operted. They lso provide storge for virtul CD nd DVD medi. An orgniztion cn hve multiple virtul dtcenters. Orgniztion Virtul Dtcenter Networks An orgniztion virtul dtcenter network is contined within vcloud Director orgniztion virtul dtcenter nd is vilble to ll the vapps in the orgniztion. An orgniztion virtul dtcenter network llows vapps within n orgniztion to communicte with ech other. An orgniztion virtul dtcenter network cn be connected to n externl network or isolted nd internl to the orgniztion. Only system dministrtors cn crete orgniztion virtul dtcenter networks, but orgniztion dministrtors cn mnge orgniztion virtul dtcenter networks, including the network services they provide. vapp Networks A vapp network is contined within vapp nd llows virtul mchines in the vapp to communicte with ech other. You cn connect vapp network to n orgniztion virtul dtcenter network to llow the vapp to communicte with other vapps in the orgniztion nd outside of the orgniztion, if the orgniztion virtul dtcenter network is connected to n externl network. Ctlogs Orgniztions use ctlogs to store vapp templtes nd medi files. The members of n orgniztion tht hve ccess to ctlog cn use the ctlog's vapp templtes nd medi files to crete their own vapps. Orgniztions dministrtors cn copy items from public ctlogs to their orgniztion ctlog. Log In to the vcloud Director Tennt Portl You cn ccess the vcloud Director Tennt Portl by using URL tht is specific to your orgniztion. Contct your orgniztion dministrtor if you do not know the Tennt Portl orgniztion URL. See the vcloud Director Relese Notes for informtion bout supported browsers nd configurtions. 1 In browser, type the Tennt Portl URL of your orgniztion nd press Enter. For exmple, type VMwre, Inc. 9
