Active-Active DC - Cross-vCenter vMotion with NSX-T L2 Stretch Networks (Full)

so today I'm gonna do a live demonstration it's going to be part of the activity data center series so this is going to be NSX Delayer to stretch network across multiple V Center and I know do a life that migrations of V and across V Center so before I begin to the demo let's take a look at the design so I have two V centers over here so that represent actually two sites science ib inside has its own V Center okay couple of VMs over here these are on nsx logical switch there's spanning across both sides so basically is using genève over the across site so to pay attention and this demo is this web one and web two virtual machines is being load balanced by n sx t load balancer so before I like my grid I will show you that you know these two web servers is accessed by the load balancer which are IP and after that I do a storage the motion over here right because I don't have stress storage across site so then again after the migration can see there the load balancer can still access the web server although it's mainly motion to the other site okay and I also do a continuous ping across the VM to show that you know that's it maintains connectivity during the V motion okay so on the NSX team manager site you can see that in on the fabric it has to be centers right on the vCenter site i have configured enhance link mode so you can actually access the bothy center using either of v center right so to show you that the inventory is being synchronized and what I'm gonna do is to show you that topological feature so you can see that the last one has been created this for project zero seven right so this is on the drawing tina center or jzo 1d doesn't on the other datacenter can see that the logical switches are actually being synchronized so over here I'm gonna add a logical switch okay put here or j08 might be sending project in so you can see from here right it's being created right so basically this logical switch is being synchronized across site so this benefit you from you know requiring you to set up like pot groups across both sides right so Honda on the vCenter side you can see that the newly created switch let me see open up so you can see over here this is the newly created one right so we can see that your venturi of the logic switches is being synchronized across site okay so this is something new and nsx t where you can actually connect the single nsx t manager to mount baldy center alright so i'm gonna show you the load balancer not to share wide screens like this okay so on the load balancer site I've configured a virtual server you see that this tancredi one one is going to this pool right and the pool members are 17 16 10 11 and 10 12 all right so basically these are just machines you should show your over here so these are the ones you can see that yeah there you go $10 lemon and 10 don't show so I'm gonna assess the dip all right then we refresh we can see that is bingo balanced up right now okay I'm going to do the ping the continuous pin you can see that this is 10.11 I got a king dendup Chow and do it the other way around for the other VM okay computers being on on okay I'm gonna finish on this web 0-2 okay so you know you can do multiple at one go back and just do one so it's about take a look okay so I'm gonna choose the LED I center so they are on this choose your one I'm going to choose Pai we are just true story sure because I know stretched to rhe folder so the novel can see that it's on a NS XD logical switch so there's no need to manually select another one for this configuration in the synchronize so I let it start the migration okay so I'm gonna spend this out there so then you can take a look at the pings okay you have weapons no one over here you reptil - oh yeah yeah you know good Isis screen a bit so they can't you see the emotion happening okay so just you're going on so you can see that you know as the kids do you assess the boat where the games like it take a little and emotion okay so the console will drop off because he has meant to the other vCenter so take a look over here so you can see that the VM is over here now so I have to launch the console game now you can see the pings I never dropped pink pingas whatever job and if I go to the browser to assess you can see that you know both VMs are still being low balance right so this concludes the life migration demo so you can see that so this this n SXT logical switch really helps so you do you know where is it data center evacuation way it needs to like migrate vm's you know just need to change IP address right okay so that's about it so I hope this video is useful to you see you next time
