Managing Organization vDCs

After you create an organization vDC, you can modify its properties, disable or delete it, and manage its
allocation model, storage, and network settings.

Create an Organization vDC

Create an organization vDC to allocate resources to an organization. An organization vDC is partitioned from
a provider vDC. A single organization can have multiple organization vDCs.
Prerequisites
You must have a provider vDC before you can allocate resources to an organization.
Procedure
1 Open the New Organization vDC Wizard
Open the New Organization vDC wizard to start the process of creating an organization vDC.
2 Select an Organization for the Organization vDC
You can create an organization vDC to provide resources to any organization in the Cloud Director
system. An organization can have more than one organization vDC.
3 Select a Provider vDC
An organization vDC obtains its compute and storage resources from a provider vDC. The organization
vDC provides these resources to vApps and virtual machines in the organization.
4 Select an Allocation Model
The allocation model determines how and when the provider vDC compute and memory resources that
you allocate are committed to the organization vDC.
5 Configure the Allocation Model
Configure the allocation model to specify the amount of provider vDC resources to allocate to the
organization vDC.
6 Allocate Storage
An organization vDC requires storage space for vApps and vApp templates. You can allocate storage
from the space available on provider vDC datastores.
7 Select Network Pool
A network pool is a group of undifferentiated networks that is used to create vApp networks and NAT-
routed or internal organization networks.
8 Name the Organization vDC
Provide a descriptive name and an optional description for your new organization vDC.
9 Confirm Settings and Create the Organization vDC
Before you create the organization vDC, review the settings you entered.
