Review Huawei SingleCLOUD Component Relationships

The Huawei GalaX environment is part of the Huawei SingleCLOUD solution and designed for cloud computing data centers of cloud service providers or enterprise customers.

The Huawei SingleCLOUD solution consists of a layered architecture. The devices on the physical layer and network layer are integrated into the solution. Based on cluster, distributed storage, NAS storage, and virtualization technologies, these integrated devices provide the storage, computing, and network services to upper-layer services. A Huawei SingleCLOUD instance in CA Virtual Assurance includes the required infrastructure to manage and monitor your Huawei GalaX environment. The Huawei GalaX environment consists of clusters and their associated resources.

The following diagram illustrates the GalaX components of a SingleCLOUD solution that you can manage through CA Virtual Assurance and the dependencies between these components:

Huawei SingleCLOUD GalaX Components and Their Relationships

Initially, create a VPC VLAN that provides VLAN access to the virtual machines in the cloud and their users. Optionally, you can add a User VLAN to a virtual machine. A virtual machine in the Computing Cluster requires an appropriate image and the VPC VLAN to which the virtual machine belongs. The image contains the operating system and applications for this virtual machine.

You can then create virtual disks in the Storage Cluster and attach these disks to the appropriate virtual machines to store the user-specific data. Two types of virtual disks are supported: User disks and shared disks. User disks have a one-to-one relationship to virtual machines and shared disks can have a one-to-many relationship. Shared disks require Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) support.
