5 Specify the following information about the resource bundle in the wizard.
Wizard Screen Action
Name and Description
Type a name and optional description and click Next.
Resource Pool
Select the resource pool from which you want to assign CPU and memory
resources and click Next.
Storage
a Click Edit to select a Datastore, and allocate the number of gigabytes to
use with Data Director, or allocate all unallocated space. Repeat the
process for backup storage.
NOTE Do not select a datastore that is in a datastore cluster.
b Specify the storage reservation. The default is 100%. The minimum
storage reservation is the lower bound of the storage reservations of
database groups created under the resource bundle. System
administrators typically use this reserve to control how much storage
over allocation can be allotted by organization administrators with this
resource bundle. See Chapter 7, “Managing Database Groups,” on
page 71 for more information about storage reservation.
Base Database Templates
Select the base Database templates available in this resource bundle. Users
create and provision databases using these templates. You can assign base
database templates to resource bundles at any time.
DB Access Networks
Select the networks that you want to have available to this resource bundle.
These networks provide the public network for the organization's databases.
Resource bundles must use a database network when available.
What to do next
System administrators can assign additional base database templates to resource bundles, and allocate the
resource bundles to organizations. Organization administrators can 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
System administrators can assign additional base DB templates to the resource bundle. Organization
administrators can enable base DB templates for their organizations and create one or more database groups
and databases. See Chapter 9, “Managing Databases,” on page 83 and “Create a Database Group,” on
page 73.
