5 Select the quotas for running and stored virtual machines.
Quotas determine how many virtual machines each user in the organization can store and power on in
the organization's virtual datacenters. The quota you specify affects all the users in the organization.
6 Select the limits for resource intensive operations.
Certain Cloud Director operations, for example copy and move, are more resource intensive than others.
Limits prevent resource intensive operations from affecting all the users in an organization and also
provide a defense against denial-of-service attacks.
7 Select the number of simultaneous connections for each virtual machine and click OK.
Add a Catalog to an Organization
Add a catalog to an organization to contain its uploaded and imported vApp templates and media files. An
organization can have multiple catalogs and control access to each catalog individually.
Prerequisites
An organization in which to create a catalog.
Procedure
1 Click the Home tab and click Add another catalog to an organization.
2 Select an organization name and click Next.
3 Type a catalog name and optional description and click Next.
4 Select the publishing option click Next.
Option Description
Do not publish this catalog to other
organizations
The items added to the catalog are only available within the organization.
Published to Organizations
The items added to the catalog are available to all of the organizations in the
Cloud Director installation. The administrators of each organization can then
choose which catalog items to provide to their users.
5 Review the catalog settings and click Finish.
Managing Organization Resources
Cloud Director organizations obtain their resources for one or more organization vDCs. If an organization
needs more resources, you can add a new organization vDC or modify an existing organization vDC. You can
take resources away from an organization by removing or modifying an organization vDC.
For more information about adding an organization vDC, see “Create an Organization vDC,” on page 45.
For information about removing an organization vDC, see “Delete an Organization vDC,” on page 49.
For information about modifying the resources available to an existing organization vDC, see “Edit
Organization vDC Allocation Model Settings,” on page 50, and “Edit Organization vDC Storage Settings,” on
page 50.
