Provisioning NSX Virtual Machines

To provision NSX virtual machines:

1. In vRealize Automation, go to the Catalog tab.
2. Click Request for the NSX service.
3. In the NSX deployment details, specify general details. In this sample case, set the number of deployments to 1.
4. Select the vSphere machine.
5. In the General tab, specify the required details. In this sample case, set the number of the web machine instances to 2 in the Instances field.
6. Click Submit, and then click OK.

Now if you go to the Requests tab in vRA, you can see the details of the NSX machines provisioning execution.
In vRealize Orchestrator, you can notice that three instances of the Allocate workflow are executed, which corresponds to the NSX load balancer and the two web machines. The IP addresses allocation took place through NIOS.

In NIOS Grid Manager, go to Data Management –> IPAM –> network used for IP address provisioning and notice that the IP addresses are allocated to the corresponding machines. On the DNS –> Zones tab in the Grid Manager, notice that the corresponding DNS records are created.

In vSphere Client, you can check that the load balancer machine and the two web machines are spun and have the IP addresses allocated.
