Information about each known physical machine, such as its installed memory and CPU count, is
collected regularly through its management interface. Physical machines do not belong to fabric groups.
A fabric administrator can manage any known physical machine and reserve it for any business group.
Until a physical machine is provisioned, it is considered to be unprovisioned, even if it already has an
operating system. After it is provisioned with an operating system, or imported with its existing operating
system intact, a physical machine is under the same management and control as a virtual or cloud
machine.
vRealize Automation communicates with physical machines through the following types of physical
endpoints, which represent the management interfaces through which it communicates.
n
Cisco UCS Manager
n
Dell iDRAC
n
HP iLO
iDRAC and iLO endpoints represent single standalone machines. Cisco UCS Manager endpoints
represent pools of multiple machines.
Physical Reservations
A physical reservation is a set of physical machines reserved for and available to a particular business
group for provisioning.
Any physical machine or blade represented by a physical endpoint is available to any fabric administrator
to include in a physical reservation, but each machine or blade can belong to only one reservation.
Unprovisioned physical machines or blades must be added to a physical reservation before they can be
provisioned or imported, and cannot be removed from a reservation until they are decommissioned and
become unprovisioned. Each physical reservation is for one business group only but a business group
can have any number of physical reservations containing any number of physical machines or blades.
A reservation can also define policies, priorities, and quotas that determine machine placement.

A fabric administrator can modify the data center, row, and rack details of a managed or reserved physical
machine.
