1
00:00.000 --> 00:03.520
So now that we have our global manager, let's do the next logical step and that

2
00:03.520 --> 00:04.400
is to add our

3
00:04.400 --> 00:09.120
sites that this global manager can work with. So we'll add site one and site

4
00:09.120 --> 00:09.840
two and we'll be

5
00:09.840 --> 00:13.940
leveraging the virtual IP address associated with the management cluster at

6
00:13.940 --> 00:15.040
each of those sites,

7
00:15.040 --> 00:19.250
including at site one, the dot 10 address and at site two over here, the dot 14

8
00:19.250 --> 00:19.840
address.

9
00:19.840 --> 00:23.760
So back at the NSX global manager and we can confirm that by clicking on the

10
00:23.760 --> 00:25.520
system tab up on top

11
00:25.520 --> 00:28.990
and then with system overview selected. And this confirms for us that we are at

12
00:28.990 --> 00:29.760
the global manager

13
00:29.760 --> 00:33.950
also, if we went to networking before we onboard any of our sites by clicking
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

13
00:29.760 --> 00:33.950
also, if we went to networking before we onboard any of our sites by clicking

14
00:33.950 --> 00:35.360
here the networking tab

15
00:35.360 --> 00:39.210
you'll notice that we have no tier zero gateways, no tier one gateways, no

16
00:39.210 --> 00:39.920
segments,

17
00:39.920 --> 00:44.970
absolutely nothing because we haven't onboarded or created any of those yet.

18
00:44.970 --> 00:45.360
However, that's

19
00:45.360 --> 00:50.120
about to change as we onboard and then import the configurations from site one

20
00:50.120 --> 00:50.960
and site two.

21
00:50.960 --> 00:54.800
So to onboard the sites, we're going to go to the system tab here on the global

22
00:54.800 --> 00:55.680
manager and with

23
00:55.680 --> 00:59.920
system selected on the left, we're going to go under configuration and click on

24
00:59.920 --> 01:01.600
location manager
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

24
00:59.920 --> 01:01.600
location manager

25
01:01.600 --> 01:05.200
right there. And then here the main pane, we have our NSX global and if he's

26
01:05.200 --> 01:05.600
scroll down,

27
01:05.600 --> 01:10.640
we have the option to add a new location. So we click right here on add on-prem

28
01:10.640 --> 01:11.360
location,

29
01:11.360 --> 01:15.370
we can get the ball rolling and let's start with site one. So we'll click here

30
01:15.370 --> 01:16.320
on add on-prem

31
01:16.320 --> 01:20.670
location and let's go ahead and call this site one for a friendly name. And

32
01:20.670 --> 01:21.440
then I have set up

33
01:21.440 --> 01:26.340
in DNS, I've got a fully qualified domain name that represents the virtual IP

34
01:26.340 --> 01:26.960
address

35
01:26.960 --> 01:31.010
at site one for that NSX management cluster. And let me just confirm that that
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

35
01:26.960 --> 01:31.010
at site one for that NSX management cluster. And let me just confirm that that

36
01:31.010 --> 01:31.840
's in place.

37
01:31.840 --> 01:36.860
So here is my Windows server that's acting as the DNS server. Let me make that

38
01:36.860 --> 01:37.920
a little bit bigger.

39
01:37.920 --> 01:43.040
And let me bring up the DNS manager and there it is. And here is the OGA T.Lab

40
01:43.040 --> 01:44.800
domain. And sure enough

41
01:44.800 --> 01:53.970
right there, I've got an NSX-1-VAP.OGAT.Lab at 192.168.1.10. And that is the

42
01:53.970 --> 01:54.720
virtual IP address

43
01:54.720 --> 01:58.680
that we set up the NSX management cluster at site one. So that's going to be

44
01:58.680 --> 01:59.840
great. So we'll put in

45
01:59.840 --> 02:03.070
that name that maps to that dot 10 address. And then I'll put in the username
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

45
01:59.840 --> 02:03.070
that name that maps to that dot 10 address. And then I'll put in the username

46
02:03.070 --> 02:03.760
and password

47
02:03.760 --> 02:08.680
required to log in to that NSX cluster. So I've supplied that username and that

48
02:08.680 --> 02:09.360
password.

49
02:09.360 --> 02:14.140
It's also requiring a space on this red asterisk to supply the shop 256th thumb

50
02:14.140 --> 02:15.600
print for that NSX

51
02:15.600 --> 02:18.550
cluster. It's going to help confirm that we're at the right device. So let's

52
02:18.550 --> 02:19.600
make a road trip with

53
02:19.600 --> 02:24.370
command line interface over to this cluster right here and just verify what

54
02:24.370 --> 02:26.080
that fingerprint is.

55
02:26.080 --> 02:33.120
So here at the CLI, I'm SSHing over to the NSX-1-VAP address. And we are logged
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

55
02:26.080 --> 02:33.120
So here at the CLI, I'm SSHing over to the NSX-1-VAP address. And we are logged

56
02:33.120 --> 02:33.760
in. And to get that

57
02:33.760 --> 02:38.140
thumbprint value, we're going to type in get space certificate cluster space

58
02:38.140 --> 02:39.600
and a question mark

59
02:39.600 --> 02:43.760
and thumbprint and then press enter. And there is the thumbprint where you need

60
02:43.760 --> 02:44.560
right there. So I'll

61
02:44.560 --> 02:49.230
go ahead and copy that to my buffer and we'll just paste that in as part of the

62
02:49.230 --> 02:50.080
onboarding

63
02:50.080 --> 02:54.480
of site one with our global manager. So we minimize that. So another we've

64
02:54.480 --> 02:54.960
taken that

65
02:54.960 --> 02:58.890
thumbprint, let's go back to the global manager and continue the onboarding. So

66
02:58.890 --> 02:59.440
here in the shop,

67
02:59.440 --> 03:04.150
256th thumbprint section, we'll go ahead and right click and paste to paste
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

67
02:59.440 --> 03:04.150
256th thumbprint section, we'll go ahead and right click and paste to paste

68
03:04.150 --> 03:04.640
that in.

69
03:04.640 --> 03:08.720
And before we can click on save and continue this, we're also required to go

70
03:08.720 --> 03:09.360
ahead and check

71
03:09.360 --> 03:13.890
version compatibility. So because I'm running the exact same version at the

72
03:13.890 --> 03:14.880
global manager,

73
03:14.880 --> 03:18.480
as I am at the local manager at site one, we shouldn't have a problem. So we'll

74
03:18.480 --> 03:18.880
click right

75
03:18.880 --> 03:23.990
here on check version compatibility, give that a minute to process and boom,

76
03:23.990 --> 03:25.840
fantastic. So there

77
03:25.840 --> 03:29.800
is the version and a little check says we are compatible. So let's go ahead and

78
03:29.800 --> 03:31.040
click on save.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

78
03:29.800 --> 03:31.040
click on save.

79
03:31.040 --> 03:35.000
And that will take just a few moments to complete. So while that's finishing up

80
03:35.000 --> 03:35.760
, let's go ahead and

81
03:35.760 --> 03:41.520
also onboard site two at the virtual IP address of dot 14. I also have a DNS

82
03:41.520 --> 03:42.720
name already set up

83
03:42.720 --> 03:46.780
that maps to that dot 14 address as well. So back at the global manager, I have

84
03:46.780 --> 03:47.440
a little message

85
03:47.440 --> 03:50.550
saying, Hey, the default transport zone could not be found for the local

86
03:50.550 --> 03:51.440
manager at site one.

87
03:51.440 --> 03:54.880
That'll take a minute or two to actually complete. So while that's finishing,

88
03:54.880 --> 03:55.600
let's scroll down

89
03:55.600 --> 03:59.680
here. Again, we're at system location manager, and we're going to click on this

90
03:59.680 --> 04:00.320
button one more
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

90
03:59.680 --> 04:00.320
button one more

91
04:00.320 --> 04:05.030
time to add on prem location to add our site to. So this will be site two. So

92
04:05.030 --> 04:06.240
we'll put the name in

93
04:06.240 --> 04:11.520
there. So I've got a DNS entry that maps to that dot 14 address. And the name

94
04:11.520 --> 04:13.760
is NSX - 2 - VIP dot

95
04:13.760 --> 04:17.940
OJT dot lab. I'll specify the credentials to log in. And then once again, we

96
04:17.940 --> 04:18.880
need to grab the

97
04:18.880 --> 04:24.090
shock to do six thumbprint. But this time from site to NSX management cluster.

98
04:24.090 --> 04:24.560
So let's make a

99
04:24.560 --> 04:28.750
road trip over there and get that thumbprint. So this is the command we used at

100
04:28.750 --> 04:29.680
NSX manager one.

101
04:29.680 --> 04:33.530
I'm going to go ahead and copy that, save myself a moment. And let's go over to
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

101
04:29.680 --> 04:33.530
I'm going to go ahead and copy that, save myself a moment. And let's go over to

102
04:33.530 --> 04:34.720
NSX manager two,

103
04:34.720 --> 04:39.010
which is right there. Also, since I'm done with NSX manager one, I'll go ahead

104
04:39.010 --> 04:39.520
and close that

105
04:39.520 --> 04:44.640
window. And here is our login to NSX manager two. I'll right click and paste

106
04:44.640 --> 04:45.440
that same command,

107
04:45.440 --> 04:50.720
get certificate cluster thumbprint. And there is the thumbprint for our cluster

108
04:50.720 --> 04:52.240
over at site two.

109
04:52.240 --> 04:55.390
So I'll go ahead and copy that down to my buffer. We'll minimize that and

110
04:55.390 --> 04:56.480
continue on with the

111
04:56.480 --> 05:00.400
wizard here by pasting that in and then clicking here on check version
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

111
04:56.480 --> 05:00.400
wizard here by pasting that in and then clicking here on check version

112
05:00.400 --> 05:02.000
compatibility, which is

113
05:02.000 --> 05:05.780
compatible, fantastic. And we'll click on save. And that is taking just a

114
05:05.780 --> 05:07.280
moment to complete. So we'll

115
05:07.280 --> 05:12.700
let that finish just to confirm that we've now added site one and site two. Now

116
05:12.700 --> 05:13.280
, if we scroll down

117
05:13.280 --> 05:17.170
here under locations under site two, it says, Hey, the default transport zone

118
05:17.170 --> 05:18.800
is not found for site two.

119
05:18.800 --> 05:22.880
But that same message for site one was up here just a few minutes ago. But now

120
05:22.880 --> 05:23.360
it's saying, Hey,

121
05:23.360 --> 05:26.510
we found objects and policies in this location. Do you want to import? So from

122
05:26.510 --> 05:27.360
here, we could say

123
05:27.360 --> 05:32.190
import or we could go to actions and then import to global manager. And we'll
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

123
05:27.360 --> 05:32.190
import or we could go to actions and then import to global manager. And we'll

124
05:32.190 --> 05:33.200
have a chance in just a

125
05:33.200 --> 05:37.090
few minutes to do the same exact process here for site two. So if we check our

126
05:37.090 --> 05:38.160
game plan, we have

127
05:38.160 --> 05:42.280
now added site one and site two. And I get our next step is to import the

128
05:42.280 --> 05:43.600
configurations from

129
05:43.600 --> 05:47.100
each of those sites. So once again, we'll give them just a few moments to

130
05:47.100 --> 05:48.160
settle. And in the next

131
05:48.160 --> 05:51.600
video, we'll pick up where we left off. And we'll do the import for the

132
05:51.600 --> 05:53.440
configurations from site one

133
05:53.440 --> 05:56.480
and site two. So see you in the next video for exactly that.

134
05:56.480 --> 06:14.820
[ Pause ]
