Introduction
This document provides considerations and steps related to configuring multiple Nexus 1000v virtual switches
for use with a single Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud deployment.
for use with a single Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud deployment.
The following examples use two Datacenters sharing a single vCenter instance, although the approach and
methodology is also applicable multiple Datacenters using different vCenter instances running on different
UCS POD/Clusters. In all cases, the intent is to support multiple Nexus1000v virtual switches with one Cisco
IAC and PNSC. Note that IAC workflow−driven configuration for muliple vCenter Datacenter instances is
not supported in the current release, as the IAC Service Resource Cotainer cannot span across muliple vCenter
Datacenters for the moment.
