Component Description
Server A physical server. After the virtualization software is installed on a server, the server
functions as a host in the FusionCompute system, providing virtualized computing
resources, including virtual CPUs (VCPUs), memory, and network ports.
Storage device Connects to a host through network devices, provides virtual storage resources to VMs.

Switch A network device that connects a server and a storage device. It also connects to the
external network, thereby implementing internal and external communications for the
FusionSphere system.
FusionCompute A component of the virtualization software. FusionCompute consists of two hosts and the
virtualization resource management module, that is, active and standby virtualization
resource management (VRM) VMs. FusionCompute virtualizes physical resources and
creates and manages VMs.
FusionManager FusionSphere management software consisting of two FusionManager VMs (active and
standby). It manages and maintains virtual resources, physical resources, and services
in a centralized manner.

respectively. Share the folder to the current PC user. After sharing the folder, the
host can access to the VRM
VM template files.

Step 2: Check the System Environment

1. Run FusionCompute_EnvCheck.bat in the PlugIn folder to check whether the -
PC has .Net 4.0 and JRE installed and whether the file sharing service is enabled. If
not, the system will install the plugins and configure the service. Check the output
information to confirm.
If "Press any key to continue..." is displayed, the check is complete and the PC
meets the requirements.

Step 3: Initialize the Installation Wizard

1. Run FusionComputeInstaller.exe in the Installer folder. The installation wizard is
opened.

2. Select a language. -

hosts. Local disks are
independent from the network,
and therefore are highly
reliable.

3. Select a service port for each host on the Add Uplink page. An uplink is a physical port
on a host that connects to a
1
DVS. VMs connect to the
network through the physical
ports on the host.
Add all the hosts in a cluster
to the same uplink group on
a DVS. This allows VMs in
the cluster to have the most
migration options if a fault
occurs.

21
Step 1: Create a DVS

4. Set the DVS VLAN pool (G3) on the Add VLAN Pool page. A virtual local area network
(VLAN) pool defines the
1 allowed VLAN range for a
DVS.
During service provisioning,
create port groups on the
DVS for each service. This
allows each port group to use
2 VLANs from different VLAN
pools.
The VLAN pool set on the
DVS must be same as the
3 VLANs set on the physical
switch to which the host
connects.

4.6 Configure the NTP Clock Source and Time Zone

Step 1: Configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Clock Source
1. Go to the Time Synchronization page. After an NTP clock source is
set, the system time on all
1 nodes in FusionCompute is
the same.
2 If multiple NTP servers are to
be deployed, ensure that all
the NTP servers use the
same upper-layer clock
source to ensure time
consistency.
3 This configuration requires a
service restart, which takes
about 2 minutes. After the
restart, log in to

Appendix 1 Principles of VM Network Access
A virtual NIC of a VM communicates with an external network by connecting to the DVS through the port group,
then by connecting to the physical NIC of a host through the DVS uplink. These connections are shown in the
following figure.
Host 1 Host 2

VM

Port Group

DVS
Virtual
Resources Uplink

Physical
Resources

Physical Network

Network Description
Element (NE)
Port group A port group is a virtual logical port similar to a template with network attributes. A port group is
used to define VM NIC attributes and uses a DVS to connect to the network:
• Subnet: FusionCompute automatically allocates an IP address in the subnet IP address pool
to each NIC on VMs that use the port group.
• VLAN: Users must manually assign IP addresses to VM NICs. VMs connect to the VLAN
defined by the port group.

DVS A DVS is similar to a switch used for communications on the layer 2 network. A DVS links the
port group to the VM and connects to the physical network through the uplink.

Uplink An uplink connects the DVS to the physical network. An uplink is used for VM upstream data
transmission.

Appendix 2 Principles of VM Storage Access

A data store is a logical storage unit
on FusionCompute. A data store is
used to universally define all types
of storage resources. Host Local
