Purpose

This article provides a brief introduction to the SDN-based data center solution built using Huawei Data Center switches and VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.6. Huawei switches act as VXLAN L2 gateways in this solution. For more information about the solution, refer to the CloudEngine Data Center Network Solution.

Disclaimer: The partner product referenced in this article is a software module that is developed and supported by a partner. Use of this product is also governed by the end user license agreement of the partner. You must obtain from the partner the application, support, and licensing for using this product. For more information, see Huawei Technical Support.

Resolution

Huawei CloudEngine series data center switches use Huawei's next-generation Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) operating system to provide full openness in addition to stable, reliable, and secure high-performance switching services. Running V200R005 and later, Huawei CE series switches provide OVSDB  for seamless connection with the VMware NSX network virtualization platform. The NSX platform creates a visual model of the entire network and enables customers to create and deploy any network topology in seconds. With the NSX platform, virtual networks can be deployed and managed through software programming, making customer networks open and flexible. The NSX platform can be used with Huawei CloudEngine switches to construct elastic, virtualized, and efficient cloud computing networks.

Huawei CloudEngine switches support the standard Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) protocol and can act as VXLAN gateways for traditional servers, connecting them to the VMware VXLAN network. VMware NSX uses the OVSDB protocol to deliver OpenFlow tables to Huawei CloudEngine data center switches and centrally controls hardware and software virtual tunnel end points (VTEPs). Collaboration of Huawei CloudEngine switches and VMware NSX enables efficient communication between traditional servers and VXLAN servers. This solution combines the high performance of hardware equipment and flexibility of software, while providing high scalability.

The openness and programmability of Huawei CloudEngine switches enable them to integrate the VMware NSX plugin for interoperation with the VMware NSX, thereby creating a complete VXLAN overlay solution for cloud-computing and virtualized data center networks.

Supported Software

NSX for vSphere 6.3.6, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.4.3

Collect logs

Collect VRPv8 logs:

Collecting Log Information

When a device is faulty, collect the log information on the device immediately. The log information helps you know what had happened during device operation and where the fault occurred.

Logs, including user logs and diagnostic logs, record user operations, system faults, and system security. To obtain user logs and diagnostic logs on the device, run the following commands:

<HUAWEI> save logfile                              //Collect common user logs.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] diagnose
[~HUAWEI-diagnose] save logfile diagnose-log       //Collect diagnostic logs.
[~HUAWEI-diagnose] collect diagnostic information
//Collect diagnostic information the system.

After the preceding configurations are complete, upload all files in flash:/logfile/ to your computer through FTP or TFTP.
