How-To Model a VMware Cluster

Using Txture's default Structure, there is a separate Asset Type for depicting and modeling clusters, such as a VMware Cluster that uses the vSphere Hypervisor.

Example - vSphere HA-Cluster​

The screenshot below shows an example of a vSphere HA-Cluster with the following structure:

  1. The physical layer is represented by four hosts for which VMware ESXi has been entered as each physical server's operating system.
  2. Via the runs on link the four physical servers have been linked to an asset of the type Compute Cluster. The compute cluster represents the logical cluster. VMware vSphere has been entered as a technology for this asset.
  3. A number of virtual machines has been modeled above the compute cluster via the runs on link. VMware Instance has been specified as the VMs' technology.
  4. A number of technical and software components are operated in the virtual machines, which finally provide the business application.
