Allocate resources to the organization.
Allocate Resources to an Organization
You allocate resources to an organization by creating an organization vDC that is partitioned from a provider
vDC. A single organization can have multiple organization vDCs.
Prerequisites
You must have a provider vDC before you can allocate resources to an organization.
Procedure
1 Open the Allocate Resources Wizard on page 33
Open the Allocate Resources wizard to start the process of creating an organization vDC for an
organization.
2 Select a Provider vDC on page 33
An organization vDC obtains its compute and storage resources from a provider vDC. The organization
vDC provides these resources to vApps and virtual machines in the organization.
3 Select an Allocation Model on page 34
The allocation model determines how and when the provider vDC compute and memory resources that
you allocate are committed to the organization vDC.
4 Configure the Allocation Model on page 36
Configure the allocation model to specify the amount of provider vDC resources to allocate to the
organization vDC.
5 Allocate Storage on page 37
An organization vDC requires storage space for vApps and vApp templates. You can allocate storage
from the space available on provider vDC datastores.
6 Select Network Pool and Services on page 38
A network pool is a group of undifferentiated networks used to create vApp networks and internal
organization vDC networks.
7 Configure an Edge Gateway on page 38
You configure an edge gateway to provide connectivity to one or more external networks.
8 Configure External Networks on page 39
Select the external networks that the edge gateway can connect to.
9 Configure IP Settings on a New Edge Gateway on page 39
Configure IP settings for external networks on the new edge gateway.
10 Suballocate IP Pools on a New Edge Gateway on page 39
Suballocate into multiple static IP pools the IP pools that the external networks on the edge gateway
provide.
11 Configure Rate Limits on a New Edge Gateway on page 39
