3 On the General tab, type a new name and description and click OK.
You can use the name and description fields to indicate the vSphere functions available to the organization
vDC, for example, vSphere HA.
Edit Organization vDC Allocation Model Settings
You cannot change the allocation model for an organization vDC, but you can change some of the settings of
the allocation model that you specified when you created the organization vDC.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Properties.
3 On the Allocation tab, enter the new allocation model settings and click OK.
Option Action
CPU allocation
Enter the maximum amount of CPU, in GHz, to allocate to virtual machines
running in the organization vDC. This option is available only for Allocation
Pool and Reservation Pool allocation models.
CPU resources guaranteed
Enter the percentage of CPU resources to guarantee to virtual machines
running in the organization vDC. You can overcommit resources by
guaranteeing less than 100%. This option is available only for Allocation Poll
and Pay-As-You-Go allocation models.
vCPU Speed
Enter the vCPU speed in GHz. Virtual machines running in the organization
vDC are assigned this amount of GHz per vCPU. This option is available
only for a Pay-As-You-Go allocation model.
Memory allocation
Enter the maximum amount of memory, in GB, to allocate to virtual machines
running in the organization vDC. This option is available only for Allocation
Pool and Reservation Pool allocation models.
Memory resources guaranteed
Enter the percentage of memory resources to guarantee to virtual machines
running in the organization vDC. You can overcommit resources by
guaranteeing less than 100%. This option is available only for Allocation Poll
and Pay-As-You-Go allocation models.
Maximum number of VMs
Enter the maximum number of virtual machines that can be created in the
organization vDC.
These settings affect only vApps that you start from this point on. vApps that are already running are not
affected. The usage information that vCloud Director reports for this organization vDC does not reflect
the new settings until all running vApps are stopped and started again.
Edit Organization vDC Storage Settings
After you create and use an organization vDC, you might decide to provide it with more storage resources
from its source provider vDC. You can also enable or disable thin provisioning and fast provisioning for the
organization vDC.
Fast provisioning requires vCenter Server 5.0 or later and ESXi 5.0 or later hosts. If the provider vDC on which
the organization vDC is based contains ESX/ESXi 4.x hosts, you must disable fast provisioning. For information
about fast provisioning, see “Fast Provisioning of Virtual Machines,” on page 112.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Properties.
3 Click the Storage tab.
