Hello and welcome. My name is Keith Barker.

2
00:04.080 --> 00:05.310
And in a previous skill,

3
00:05.310 --> 00:07.830
we went through the process of planning, deploying,

4
00:07.830 --> 00:10.350
and verifying an NSX Manager.

5
00:10.350 --> 00:11.580
However, up to this point,

6
00:11.580 --> 00:14.670
that NSX Manager doesn't really have anything to manage.

7
00:14.670 --> 00:17.880
There's no transport nodes anywhere in the network yet.

8
00:17.880 --> 00:20.160
And that sort of like hiring a physical human,

9
00:20.160 --> 00:23.100
like a manager at a company and having that manager come in

10
00:23.100 --> 00:25.980
and when the manager says, "Okay, where's my people?

11
00:25.980 --> 00:26.910
Who do I manage?"

12
00:26.910 --> 00:28.890
We tell him, "Nothing. There's nobody to manage."

13
00:28.890 --> 00:30.960
It's kind of a waste of a resource at that point

13
00:28.890 --> 00:30.960
It's kind of a waste of a resource at that point

14
00:30.960 --> 00:33.540
to hire a manager if there's nothing to manage.

15
00:33.540 --> 00:35.910
And that's very similar to our situation in vSphere

16
00:35.910 --> 00:36.930
right now with NSX.

17
00:36.930 --> 00:40.350
We deploy the NSX Manager. It's running as a VM.

18
00:40.350 --> 00:41.850
However, at this moment,

19
00:41.850 --> 00:43.980
there is nothing for it yet to manage.

20
00:43.980 --> 00:46.080
And together, you and I, in this skill,

21
00:46.080 --> 00:47.580
we are gonna solve that problem

22
00:47.580 --> 00:51.030
by bringing into the fold a couple of ESXi hosts,

23
00:51.030 --> 00:52.950
and we're gonna convert them or add on to them

24
00:52.950 --> 00:56.760
the additional function of becoming a host transport node

25
00:56.760 --> 00:58.770
inside the NSX environment.

26
00:58.770 --> 00:59.880
So in preparation for that,

27
00:59.880 --> 01:00.870

00:59.880 --> 01:00.870
join me in the next video

28
01:00.870 --> 01:03.030
as we put a specific game plan together

29
01:03.030 --> 01:04.380
regarding what we want to implement

30
01:04.380 --> 01:05.460
and how we want it to look.

31
01:05.460 --> 01:08.160
And then we'll follow that game plan for the implementation

32
01:08.160 --> 01:10.890
and verification of a couple of ESXI hosts

33
01:10.890 --> 01:13.260
that are brought into the fold of NSX

34
01:13.260 --> 01:15.393
as host transport nodes.
