Configure Organization Lease, Quota, and Limit Settings
Leases, quotas, and limits constrain the ability of organization users to consume storage and processing
resources. Use these settings to prevent users from depleting or monopolizing an organization's resources.
For more information about leases, see “Understanding Leases,” on page 25.
Procedure
1 Select the lease options for vApps and vApp templates.
Leases provide a level of control over an organization's storage and compute resources by specifying
the maximum amount of time that vApps can run and that vApps and vApp templates can be stored.
You can also specify what happens to vApps and vApp templates when their storage lease expires.
2 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 quotas that you specify act as the default for all new users
added to the organization.
3 Select the limits for resource intensive operations.
Certain vCloud 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.
4 Select the number of simultaneous VMware Remote Console connections for each virtual machine.
You might want to limit the number of simultaneous connections for performance or security reasons.
NOTE This setting does not affect Virtual Network Computing (VNC) or Remote Desktop Protocol
(RDP) connections.
5 (Optional) Select the Account lockout enabled check box, select the number of invalid logins to accept
before locking a user account, and select the lockout interval.
6 Click Next.
Confirm Settings and Create the Organization
Before you create the organization, review the settings you entered.
Procedure
1 Review the settings for the organization.
2 (Optional) Click Back to modify the settings.
3 Click Finish to accept the settings and create the organization.
What to do next
Allocate resources to the organization.
Allocate Resources to an Organization
You allocate resources to an organization by creating an organization virtual datacenter that is partitioned
from a provider virtual datacenter. A single organization can have multiple organization virtual datacenters.
Prerequisites
You must have a provider virtual datacenter before you can allocate resources to an organization.
