Creating Cloud Partitions - VMware VCLOUD REQUEST MANAGER 1.0.0 Manual

Creating Cloud Partitions

Cloud partitions can be created from existing vCloud Director cloud blueprints.
Use Request manager to create cloud partitions from existing vCloud Director blueprints. Blueprints are pre-
defined policies and are used to simplify the creation and management of cloud partitions. A cloud blueprint
is a policy that controls the cloud settings, such as defining the maximum number of virtual machines in a
cloud, default lease times, cost allocation models, network settings, and more. The cloud blueprint settings are
defined by the cloud Administrator and are used to enforce standard policies.
Request Manager creates cloud partitions using the following workflow.
1 Request a new cloud partition using the Request Manger User Portal.
2 After you submit your request, it enters the approval workflow.
3 Your manager receives a generated email notification with the request details.
4 If your manager rejects the request, you receive an email indicating the request was rejected.
5 If your manager approves the request, the cloud is provisioned.
6 Request Manager notifies you that the cloud is created. The email notification includes a link to the virtual
application and to vCloud Director.
The following diagram shows the workflow when you request a cloud partition.
