Fabric administrators can now allocate resources to your business group by creating a reservation.
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.
Physical Reservation Selection
When a member of a business group requests a physical machine, vRealize Automation must select a
machine from one of the group’s physical reservations.
The reservation from which a machine is provisioned must satisfy the following criteria:
n
The reservation must be a physical reservation.
n
The reservation must be enabled.
n
The reservation must have capacity remaining in its machine quota or have an unlimited quota.
n
The reservation must contain an unprovisioned machine matching the blueprint specifications.
n
If the blueprint or request specifies a location, the compute resource must be associated with that
location.
