Getting ready
The following are things to consider before deploying the NSX controller cluster:
- The controller cluster has three controllers in total and must be deployed in a cluster of three.
- Each controller node should reside on a separate ESXi host; DRS anti-affinity rules should be used to enforce this rule. It is generally recommended to deploy controllers on a vSphere cluster with a minimum of four ESXi hosts.
- Sufficient resources (vCPU, memory, and storage) on the vSphere cluster.
- NSX controller nodes should be deployed onto shared storage that is highly available.
- Each NSX controller requires an IPv4 address; these addresses are allocated via the NSX IP pool construct.
- NSX controllers require connectivity to NSX Manager and vSphere management VMKernel IP addresses.
- NSX controller should reside on a VLAN-backed PortGroup.
The NSX Controller IP Pool requires the following details prior to configuration. You can change values to suit your environment:
