Prerequisites

Review the following prerequisites for creating a VNET.

Before you create a VNET, do the following:

1. Determine how large your subnet should be.
2. Determine how many CPU cores you will need and how much memory you would like to allocate to your VNET’s Network Function Virtualization (NFV) instance. (The NFV instance acts as a DHCP server and gateway for instances in the VNET.)
3. Create a migration zone.
4. Create a storage pool.
5. Create a virtual datacenter.
6. Create a firewall profile (if needed).

Note

At least one VLAN must be created before a VNET can be deployed. It is possible to create an "incomplete" VNET, which you can deploy later.
