6 If you are configured as an organization administrator, you can enter a vCloud Director organization
name in the Organization text box.
You can specify a vCloud Director endpoint using the Organization text box or, if you have
implemented vCloud Director in a private cloud, you can leave the Organization text block empty to
allow the application to discover all the available Organization vDCs.
If you set up multiple organizations, either as separate endpoints or as a single endpoint, create
reservation policies for each organization. This configuration ensures that vApps are provisioned to
the appropriate virtual datacenters. Do this if vApps must be put on a specific resource. For example,
if the resources must be controlled this strictly or if the templates to be used are only for a specific
organization. However, if the template is public and the requester knows that they want a Pay As You
Go or Allocated resource, you can use one reservation policy to group both of those goals.
7 (Optional) Click the Use proxy server check mark box to configure additional security and force
connections to pass through a proxy server.
a Enter the host name of your proxy server in the Hostname text box.
b Enter the port number to use for connecting to the proxy server in the Port text box.
c (Optional) Click the Browse icon next to the Credentials text box.
Select or create credentials that represent the user name and password for the proxy server, if
required by the proxy configuration.
8 (Optional) Add any custom properties.
9 Click OK.
What to do next
Create a Fabric Group.
Preparing an Endpoint CSV File for Import
Instead of adding endpoints one at a time by using the vRealize Automation console, you can import a list
of endpoints of various types by uploading a CSV file.
The CSV file must contain a header row with the expected fields. Fields are case sensitive and must be in
a specific order. You can upload multiple endpoints of varying types with the same CSV file. For
vCloud Director, system administrator accounts are imported, rather than organization administrator
endpoints.
