Sharpening the Edge
We have now used the Edge (organization and vApp router) a lot, and in some cases, the Edge is too resource-starved to provide a fast service. Let's do something about that.
Getting ready
We will need a deployed Edge, either an organizational Edge or a vApp router. You could use the vApp router out of the Deploying a vApp with vApp router recipe in this chapter.
How to do it...
If you use an organizational Edge, perform the following steps:
- Go to your organization.
- Click on Administration.
- Double-click on the OvDC you created the Edge in.
- Select Edge Gateways.
- Right-click on the Edge and select Upgrade to Full Configuration.
- Answer the warning message and the Edge will now be upgraded.
If you want even more power for the organizational Edge or want to want to give more power to a vApp router:
- Log into the vCNS as an Administrator.
- Click on Datacenters.
- Click on your datacenter.
- From the right side, now click on Network Virtualization and then on Edge.
- Look at the naming; the Edge you're looking for has the same name as your Organization Network (organizational Edge) or vApp Network (vApp router):
- Double-clicking on this Edge will open up all the configuration items.
- In the Edge, click on Settings. You should see the following screen:
- Click on Actions and select Large (same as Full in vCloud) or X-Large.
- The Edge will now be redeployed.
How it works...
We are using vCNS to use all the functions that it is capable of. This will enable you to upsize a vApp router. However, please be aware that VMware will not support this.
In the following table you can see the amount of resources that a given size of an Edge requires:
A huge drawback is that if you redeploy the Edge (or the vApp router), vCloud will make vCNS go back to the original size.
There's more...
Please note that you can also activate HA for a vApp router. You can switch HA on by performing the following steps:
- Follow the steps from the previous section.
- Click on HA Configuration and select Change. You should see the following screen:
- Choose Enable and click on OK.
- This will deploy a second Edge device on a different ESXi host. Please be aware of the additional resources used.
