We are looking to upgrade vCloud directory from 1.5.1 to 5.1. This also includes adding another vcenter as a new provider vDC to leverage the new server and storage infrastructure.
At the moment we have 1 vcenter with 2 cluster. One for management and one is a provider vDC for all the existing org vDCs. Storage is coming from a clarion CX4 array. Now we have 4 new Cisco UCS blade servers and an new VNX array. I want to upgrade vCloud to 5.1 first and then build a new vcenter, attach these new hosts to that, carve out new datastores and attach this vcenter to vCloud and create an new provider vDC from it.
I would like to know if its possible to add this new provider vDC to existing vDCs even though its coming from a different vcenter?? Also how will the templates in catalog be shared between the 2 provider vDCs??
Thanks,
Yaseen
