Chapter 4. Upgrade Instructions
28
23. (VMware only) After upgrade, if you want to change a Standard vSwitch zone to a VMware
dvSwitch Zone, perform the following:
a. Ensure that the Public and Guest traffics are not on the same network as the Management
and Storage traffic.
b. Set vmware.use.dvswitch to true.
c. Access the physical network for the Public and guest traffic, then change the traffic labels as
given below:
<dvSwitch name>,<VLANID>,<Switch Type>
For example: dvSwitch18,,vmwaredvs
VLANID is optional.
d. Stop the Management server.
e. Start the Management server.
f. Add the new VMware dvSwitch-enabled cluster to this zone.
24. (VMware only) If your existing cloud includes any deployed data centers, you should set the global
configuration setting vmware.create.full.clone to false. Then restart the Management Server. For
information about how to set vmware.create.full.clone, see Section 5.5, “Setting Configuration
Parameters”. For information about how CloudPlatform supports full and linked clones, see
“Configuring Usage of Linked Clones on VMware” in the CloudPlatform Administration Guide.
Note
Troubleshooting tip: If passwords which you know to be valid appear not to work after upgrade, or
other UI issues are seen, try clearing your browser cache and reloading the UI page.
Note
(VMware only) After upgrade, whenever you add a new VMware cluster to a zone that was
created with a previous version of CloudPlatform, the fields vCenter host, vCenter Username,
vCenter Password, and vCenter Datacenter are required. The Add Cluster dialog in the
CloudPlatform user interface incorrectly shows them as optional, and will allow you to proceed
with adding the cluster even though these important fields are blank. If you do not provide the
values, you will see an error message like "Your host and/or path is wrong. Make sure it's of the
format http://hostname/path".
4.2. Upgrade from 2.2.x to 4.2
1. Ensure that you query your IP address usage records and process them; for example, issue
invoices for any usage that you have not yet billed users for.
