Labmanager to vcloud5/17/2023 Well, in LM and vCD, it is supposed to save space too. These Copy-On-Write (CoW) disks provide for VMs that are actually little more than differencing disks from a base disk. After a few minutes i thought that this could be the answer to the organizational migration of LabManager including Self-Service, API support (REST) and different endpoints (vSphere, vCloud) without administer "real" resources in vCloud Director as a SYSTEM administrator. One of the big 'features' added to vCloud Director that allows it 'parity' when compared to the outgoing Lab Manager is the re-introduction of Linked Clones. Using vCloud Automation Center since the last DynamicOps version we talked about the administrative layers and a possible implementation. As Lab Manager can only work on vSphere 4.1, and vCloud should be installed on vSphere 5. The migration of the virtual machines wasn´t easy too, because you needed to enable the virtual machine operations in the VMware LabManager database what doesn´t sounds good without a tested and released tool. In fact the migration from VMware LabManager to vCloud Director needs to compromise. So there is no chance to give the SYSTEM organization to the end-user or customer. To be honest, there is one: the SYSTEM organization, but: you can´t limit the administrator account. So there is an organizational layer missed. The first one wasn´t easy to define, especially in large environments, caused by the different layers of administration. The organizational and administrative designĢ. Your virtual data centers are made up of multiple ESXi hosts. With it, you can create virtual data centers in software. vCloud Director goes by a few different names such as VMware Cloud Director, VM Cloud Director, and VCD. There were two stages of migrations from VMware LabManager to vCloud Director in the past:ġ. VMware vCloud Director is a provider of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). We talked about LabManager migrations and my experience in customer environments, when i was a consultant. This week i had a very interesting conversation with a fellow at VMware.
