When construction is complete, the status changes to 1 and the Task is no longer included in representation.
The following changes in the AdminVdc are also evident:
n
A reference to the vCenter resource pool that supports the vDC appears in a VCloudExtension element.
n
The network created in “Example: Create an Organization Network With a Direct Connection,” on
page 126 appears in the AvailableNetworks element. If you added more networks to the organization that
contains this vDC, they also appear in that element.
