Abstract: Techniques for declaratively deploying a virtual infrastructure management (VIM) server in a computing environment are provided. According to one set of embodiments, an installer computer system can receive a desired state definition specifying a desired state for the VIM server and a virtual infrastructure to be managed by the VIM server. The installer computer system can further install the VIM server on a target computer system in the computing environment and provide the desired state definition to the target computer system. Upon initial boot up of the VIM server on the target computer system, a service of the VIM server can automatically configure the VIM server in accordance with the desired state definition.

Abstract: A method performing at least one of hardware component compatibility checks or resource checks for datastore deployment is provided. The method includes receiving a request to aggregate local disks of a first host in a first host cluster to create and deploy a first datastore for the first host cluster, determining one or more of hardware components on the first host supports the deployment of the first datastore using a first database file available on the first host or resources on the first host support the deployment of the first datastore, and aggregating the local disks of the first host to create and deploy the first datastore for the first host cluster based on the determination.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing trust between management entities with different authentication mechanisms in a computing system utilizes a token exchange service to acquire a second security token used in a second management entity in exchange for a first security token used in a first management entity. In an embodiment, an endpoint is set at the first management entity as an authentication endpoint for the second management entity, which is used to authenticate a request with the second security token that is sent from the first management entity to the second management entity. After authentication, the request is processed at the second management entity and a response is transmitted to the first management entity.

Abstract: An example method of establishing trust between a cross-cluster control plane (xCCP) and a cluster control plane (CCP) of an autonomous cluster of hosts in a virtualized computing system includes: providing, by the xCCP, trust data of the xCCP to a hypervisor of a host in the autonomous cluster that is executing the CCP; providing, by the hypervisor, the trust data to the CCP through a volume attached to a virtual machine (VM) that executes the CCP; persisting, by the CCP, the trust data in a database; and accessing, by a security token service (STS) of the CCP, the trust data in the database to authenticate access to the CCP by the xCCP.

Abstract: An example method of deploying a logical network platform in a virtualized computing system, the virtualized computing system including a host cluster and a virtualization management server connected to a physical network, the host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts is described. The method includes receiving, at the virtualization management server, a declarative specification describing a proposed state of the logical network platform; deploying, by the virtualization management server, a network manager of the logical network platform in response to the proposed state in the declarative specification; and deploying, by the virtualization management server in cooperation with the network manager, binaries to the hosts in the host cluster.

Abstract: A system and method for upgrading a source management component of a computing environment uses a target management component that is deployed in a host computer of the computing environment. The source and target management components are set as a primary-secondary management pair for a high availability system such that the source management component is set as a primary protected component and the target management component is set as a secondary unprotected component. After services of the source management component are stopped and the target management component is powered on, the primary-secondary management pair is modified to switch the source management component to the secondary unprotected component and the target management component to the primary protected component. Services of the target management component are then started to take over responsibilities of the source management component.
