n
Verify that you have account administrator access to vCloud Air subscription services.

Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Select New Endpoint > Cloud > vApp (vCloud).
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Type the URL for the endpoint in the Address text box.
The URL specifies the fully qualified host name or IP address of the vCloud Director server. The

of the subscription, based on your vCloud Air account, in the following format:
https://p#v#-vcd-vchs.mycompany.com

the URL of the vCloud Director server that is used to manage a specific virtual data center (vDC).

a Log in to the vCloud Air Management Console using administrator credentials.

vchs.mycompany.com:443/cloud/org/vCloudAutomation/.

https://p2v5-vcd-vchs.mycompany.com:443, in the Address text box.
