* Single-zone NFS storage - vSphere data stores that use IBM Cloud file storage of different IOPs ratings are available. IBM Cloud file storage can be accessed only from hosts in the same site as the vSphere hosts. For more information, see [Shared File-level storage across hosts](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-design_physicalinfrastructuredesign_physicalinfrastructure-shared-storage).
* Stretch vSAN storage capable - By using the automation, stretched vSAN clusters cannot be deployed. If stretched vSAN is required, vSphere hosts must be deployed manually and a stretched vSAN cluster must be created.
* Optional add-on services - For more information, see [Available services for vCenter Server instances](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-vc_addingservicesvc_addingservices-available-services).

When a custom policy is configured, vSAN guarantees it when possible. However, if the policy cannot be guaranteed, it is not possible to provision a VM that uses the policy unless it is enabled to force provisioning.

Storage policies must be reapplied after adding new ESXi hosts or patching ESXi hosts.





 vSAN storage settings 

vSAN settings are configured based on best practices for deploying VMware solutions within IBM Cloud. The vSAN configuration includes storage IO Control (SIOC) settings, explicit failover settings port group, and disk cache settings. With the roll-your-own VMware solution in VPC, you are responsible for configuring the storage policies based on your needs.

The following list includes an example design:



* SSD cache policy settings - No Read Ahead, Write Through, Direct (NRWTD)
* Network I/O control settings



* Management - 20 shares
* Virtual machine - 30 shares
* vMotion - 50 shares
* vSAN - 100 shares



* vSAN kernel ports - Explicit Failover









 NFS attached storage 

As described in the [Physical infrastructure design](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-vpc-ryo-infrastructure-physicalstorage-shared) topic, IBM Cloud file storage for IBM Cloud VPC is a zonal file storage offering that provides NFS-based file storage services for VPC customers. File shares are created in an availability zone within a region. They can be shared with multiple server instances within the same zone across multiple VPCs.

If you choose to use this file storage from IBM Cloud VPC, you can attach an NFS share to your selected hosts and VMware clusters. This share can be used for management components such as vCenter Server, VMware NSX-T managers, and NSX-T edge nodes. More data stores can be attached to a cluster for workload use, in various sizes and performance tiers.

The storage is attached by using the NFS v4.1 protocol to your hosts. To create an NFS mount path, you must create mount targets.

 Storage notes 



* Balanced local profiles automatically come with a 100 GB local storage boot disk. Then, you can select a second disk (options are shown in Table 3). Any additional local disks are optional. If you require over 500 GB, then two extra disks are required (for example, 8 cores require 2 x 250 GB of local storage).
* Maximum local storage is limited by cores.
* Balanced local storage is globally available; however, the type of storage (local SSD or local HDD) depends on the data center location.
* You can't detach primary or secondary disks.



All supported operating systems (such as RHEL, CentOS, Windows, Ubuntu, and others), databases that are supported, and software add-ons are also available with this offering.

For more information about the VM encryption limitations for VMware Cloud Director 10.4, see [Enabling VM encryption on storage policies of an Organization virtual data center](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Director/10.4/VMware-Cloud-Director-Service-Provider-Admin-Portal-Guide/GUID-80F58C1D-A97E-43FE-8E41-E9242A1D2332.html).

The encryption storage policies do not currently work with VM customizations. IBM is working closely with VMware to resolve this issue in a future release.

ibmcloud login [--sso] select the appropriate region, e.g. us-south
2. Create the API key file.

Create an [IBM Cloud API key file](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-ibmcloud_commands_iamibmcloud_iam_api_keys). The command is:

ibmcloud iam api-key-create <APIKeyName> -d <description> --file <APIKeyFilename>

The API key file will be stored in your current directory.

$ ibmcloud iam api-key-create sdi-apikey-admin -d "API Key for managing the SAP Data Intelligence cluster" --file APIKey4sdi_file
3. Logout again after this initial step.

ibmcloud logout
4. Create a working directory

Choose a meaningful file path where you will copy the SAP installation files to and where you will launch the installer that will create log files.

mkdir -p /sap/install









 Creating a new Container Registry namespace. 



1. Log in to IBM Cloud using the API key file that you have created during the previous step.

The command is ibmcloud login --apikey @<APIKeyFilename>.

ibmcloud login --apikey @/APIKey4sdi_file
2. Install the Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud® Container Registry and the container services plug-ins.

$ ibmcloud plugin install container-registry
$ ibmcloud plugin install container-service
3. For this example, the namespace name is sap_di_cr, which is an acronym for SAP Data Intelligence - Container Registry - OpenShift.
