Modify an Organization vDC Name and Description
As your Cloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more meaningful name or description
to an existing organization vDC.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Properties.
3 On the General tab, type a new name and description and click OK.
You can use the name and description fields to indicate the vSphere functionality available to the
organization vDC, for example, VMware HA.
Edit Organization vDC Allocation Model Settings
You cannot change the allocation model for an organization vDC, but you can change some of the settings of
the allocation model that you specified when you created the organization vDC.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Properties.
3 On the Allocation tab, enter the new allocation model settings and click OK.
These settings only affect vApps that you start from this point on. vApps that are already running are not
affected. The usage information that Cloud Director reports for this organization vDC will not reflect the
new settings until all running vApps are stopped and started again.
Edit Organization vDC Storage Settings
After you create and use an organization vDC, you might decide to provide it with more storage resources
from its source provider vDC. You can also enable or disable thin provisioning for the organization vDC.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization vDC name and select Properties.
3 On the Storage tab, enter the new storage settings and click OK.

from which the networks are provisioned.
