organization vDC, for example, VMware HA.

Before you create the organization vDC, review the settings you entered.
Procedure

When you create an organization vDC, Cloud Director creates a resource pool in vSphere to provide CPU
and memory resources.

2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Enable or Disable.
Delete an Organization vDC
Delete an organization vDC to remove its compute, memory, and storage resources from the organization. The
resources remain unaffected in the source provider vDC.
Prerequisites
Before you can delete an organization vDC, you must disable it and move or delete all of its vApps, vApp
templates, and media.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
