assign resources to their database groups.
Assign a Resource Bundle to an Organization
System administrators can assign a resource bundle to an organization when they create an organization. You
can also assign a resource bundle to an organization at a later time.
Prerequisites
Log in to Data Director as a system administrator or a user who can assign resource bundles to organizations.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and, click Organizations.
2 Right-click the organization that you want to assign a resource bundle to, and select Assign Resource
Bundle.
3 Select the resource bundle that you want to assign from the list of resource bundles and click OK.
What to do next
You can create one or more database groups and databases. See “Create a Database,” on page 53 and “Create
a Database Group,” on page 43.
Perform Advanced Cluster Configuration
During installation, you configure the Data Director cluster with vSphere DRS and vSphere HA enabled, and
with certain monitoring settings. You can later edit the Data Director cluster configuration to change the
monitoring sensitivity for virtual machines.
As part of the installation process, you configure the Data Director cluster. See the vFabric Data Director
Installation Guide. After installation, you can customize the cluster to work in your environment. See the vSphere
Availability documentation and the vSphere Resource Management documentation for background information.
