Deploy Infoblox DDI VM  on VmWare 

Lab setup

·       We have two node deployment.

o   Hostname: ns1.lab-net.in   IP Addresss:192.168.0.31

o   Hostname: ns2.lab-net.in   IP Addresss:192.168.0.32

·       Create two VIM using NIOS ova (nios-8.5.2) on ESXi-8

Step 1: Create Infoblox vm Using OVA.

Login into esxi host > Virtual Machines > New virtual machine.

 

 

 

 

Wait till VM is created successfully.

 

Step 2: Access VM console (Setup ip)

First time Infoblox VM console login:

Username: admin

Password: infoblox

 

 

 Set ip for node using command > set networks

 

Step 2: Setup 90 day evaluation license.

·       Once node restart, re-login and set license. Using command > set temp_licenese

o   Do it two time one for service license and 2^nd time nios license.

Infoblox> set temp_license

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 3: Login to GUI of node 1 (ns1 /  192.168.0.31)

Run Grid setup wizard

 

 

 

 

 

·       Login into 1^st node ns1 and run through Grid setup wizard.

Note: Don’t change date and time only set time zone. Changing time cause temporary license to expire.

Keep it default.

 

 Relogin with new password.

 

 

 

Step 2: Setup 2^nd node (ns2 / 192.169.0.32)

Setup similar to nod1, but once it online don’t run grid setup wizard, just keep grid and node name default.

Setup summary:

• Set ip
• Set license
• Verify Gui access (node is is default grid : Infoblox, and hostname is infoblox@local.doman

·       

·       

·       

Login into GUI

https://192.168.0.32/

Just note that 2^nd node has default grid name and hostname.

Now go to Primary Node and add 2^nd node to grid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now access 2^nd node console

 

 

 

Verify status on master node ns1

Note: now onwards even if you try to access url 2 node ns2, it will redirect to primary node ns1.
