Working with Reservations
You can work with the REST API reservation service to perform a variety of functions, such as creating
and updating reservations.
The vRealize Automation REST API reservation service supports the following reservation types:
n
vSphere (except for FlexClone in vSphere)
n
vCloud Air
n
vCloud Director
n
Amazon
n
Hyper-V
n
KVM
n
Xen
The following reservation types are not supported:
n
OpenStack
n
Physical reservation
The reservation service is extensible, which allows you to add new reservation types.
A reservation must belong to a business group, also referred to as a subtenant. A business group can
have multiple reservations on the same resources or on different resources.
Note The Reservation API now returns compute resource endpoint names within parentheses. You may
need to update any client code which contains logic that uses compute resource names to account for
this change.
Create a Reservation
You can use the vRealize Automation REST API reservation service to create a reservation.
You can use the following procedure to create a vSphere, vCloud Air, or Amazon reservation.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to vRealize Automation as a fabric group administrator.
