Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Reservations > Reservations.
2 Select New Reservation > Cloud and select the type of reservation you are creating.
Select Cloud > vApp (vCloud).
3 (Optional) Select an existing reservation from the Copy from existing reservation drop-down menu.
Data from the reservation you chose appears, and you can make changes as required for your new
reservation.
4 Select a compute resource on which to provision machines from the Compute resource drop-down
menu.
The reservation name appears in the Name text box.
5 Type a new name in the Name text box or accept the default name.
6 Enter a name in the Name text box.
7 Select a tenant from the Tenant drop-down menu.
8 Select a business group from the Business group drop-down menu.
Only users in this business group can provision machines by using this reservation.
9 (Optional) Select a reservation policy from the Reservation policy drop-down menu.
This option requires additional configuration. You must create a reservation policy.
10 (Optional) Type a number in the Machine quota text box to set the maximum number of machines
that can be provisioned on this reservation.
Only machines that are powered on are counted towards the quota. Leave blank to make the
reservation unlimited.
11 Type a number in the Priority text box to set the priority for the reservation.
The priority is used when a business group has more than one reservation. A reservation with priority
1 is used for provisioning over a reservation with priority 2.
12 (Optional) Deselect the Enable this reservation check box if you do not want this reservation active.
13 (Optional) Add any custom properties.
Do not navigate away from this page. Your reservation is not complete.
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.
The available resource allocation models for machines provisioned from a vCloud reservation are
Allocation Pool, Pay As You Go, and Reservation Pool. For Pay As You Go, you do not need to specify
storage or memory amounts but do need to specify a priority for the storage path. For details about these
allocation models, see vCloud Air and vCloud Director documentation.
