If multiple storage paths have the same priority, machines are distributed among storage paths by
using round-robin scheduling.
Create a vCloud Reservation
Before members of a business group can request vApp machines, fabric administrators must allocate
resources to them by creating a vCloud reservation.
Each business group must have at least one reservation for its members to provision machines of that
type. A vCloud reservation is required for provisioning vApps.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
n
Verify that a tenant administrator created at least one business group. See Create a Business Group
for vCloud Provisioning.
Procedure
1 Specify vCloud Reservation Information
A fabric administrator can create a vCloud reservation for each vCloud Director or vCloud Air
organization virtual datacenter. Each reservation is configured for a specific business group to grant
them access to request machines on a specified compute resource.
2 Specify vCloud Resources and Network Paths
A fabric administrator uses a vCloud reservation to configure the resources and network paths
available to vApp machines that are provisioned from this reservation.
3 Configure vCloud Reservation Alerts
A fabric administrator can configure alerts to send email notifications when vCloud reservation
resources are low.
What to do next
Create a vApp Component Blueprint.
Specify vCloud Reservation Information
A fabric administrator can create a vCloud reservation for each vCloud Director or vCloud Air organization
virtual datacenter. Each reservation is configured for a specific business group to grant them access to
request machines on a specified compute resource.
After you create a reservation, you cannot change the business group or the compute resource.
