General System Deployment

Goal: collect all the information necessary to deploy VMs into the production environment.
We are deploying each application into it's own area. The area consists of:

  • Logical separation within the vSphere Client.
  • Specifically assigned VLAN.
  • Each guest will have a DNS name associated with it's primary application.
  • Each guest will have a common IP address pertaining to it's intended function.
  • Each guest within an area will utilize resources provided by that specific area's resources.
  • A guest will NOT use resources provided by other areas.

Logical Separation within vSphere

To create a logical separation, utilize resource groups under "Production". These will inherit the properties of "Production", but also provide a "folder" to put VMs into specific to the application.

VLAN Assignment

The following VLANs will be assigned to the Applications:

VLAN Associated Application Associated IP Address
2901 Admin 10.3.1.0/24
2920 IHC 10.3.20.0/24
2921 IDX 10.3.21.0/24
2922 MLS 10.3.22.0/24
2923 CRM 10.3.23.0/24
2924 CTT 10.3.24.0/24
2925 PBX 10.3.25.0/24
2926 AUX 10.3.26.0/24
2927 Mail 10.3.27.0/24
2928 MIS 10.3.28.0/24



IP Addressing

We will have six sets of IP addresses for various locations:

Location IP Address
Herakles 10.1.0.0/24
Verizon 10.2.0.0/24
VMWare Common 10.3.0.0/24
Davis 192.168.45.0/24
Oakland 192.168.47.0/24
Lefler 192.168.49.0/24


Each location will have applications use common IP numbering in the following list:

IP Address Range Associated Application
10.3.X.1-10 Router, Switches, Networking
10.3.X.11-20 DNS, NIS, Authentication
10.3.X.21-30 NFS, GFS, Other Served File Systems
10.3.X.31-40 Mail (specific to application)
10.3.X.41-50 CVS
10.3.X.51-60 Nagios, Syslog, Netflow, Other Monitoring
10.3.X.100-149 Web and Application Servers
