Create a Network Profile for Static IP Address Assignment.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Reservations > Reservations.
2 Point to a reservation and click Edit.
3 Click the Network tab.
4 Assign a network profile to a network path.
a Locate a network path on which you want to enable static IP addresses.
b Select a network profile from the Network Profile drop-down menu.
c (Optional) Repeat this step to assign network profiles to additional network paths on this
reservation.
5 Click OK.
What to do next
Repeat this procedure for all reservations for which you want to enable static IP addresses.
Cost Information for Cloud Machines
Cost profiles do not apply to cloud machines. The only factor in calculating cost for cloud machines is the
blueprint cost; this figure should reflect all cloud service charges.
Blueprints with more than one instance type or flavors allow provisioning of instances with different costs
from the same blueprint. When there is more than one instance type or flavor available, ensure that the
daily blueprint cost reflects charges for the most expensive instance.
Lease cost is calculated as daily cost multiplied by the total number of days in the lease period (if
applicable).
Cost-to-date is calculated as daily cost multiplied by the number of days a machine has been provisioned.
Machine cost is displayed at various stages of the request and provisioning life cycle and is updated
according to the current information in the request or on the provisioned item.

Viewing the catalog item details prior to
request
Daily cost based on the blueprint cost and projected lease cost based on the lease
duration specified in the blueprint. The lease cost may vary if the blueprint specifies a
range for the lease duration.
Completing the request form, viewing
details of a submitted request, or
approving a request
Daily cost based on the blueprint cost and projected lease cost based on the lease
duration specified in the request.
Viewing the details of a provisioned
machine
Daily cost based on the blueprint cost, lease cost based on the lease duration, and
cost-to-date based on the number of days since the machine was provisioned.
