For control Planes – Select vSphere Cluster, Resource Pool, Datastore, Network, and Domain name servers. Click on Next.

For workload nodes – Select vSphere Cluster, Resource Pool, Datastore, Network, and Domain name servers. Click on Next.

Review all the configurations and click on Deploy. The deployment will take approx —20 to 30 min.

You can expand Cluster and can see deployment progress. You can see that My deployment was completed successfully.

You can also log in to the cluster using Cluster VIP and check the cluster node status.

You can see two nodes are there in vCenter.

In the Partner system option, Harbor is registered with Cluster.

In Virtual Infrastructure, you can see the workload cluster registered.
