Changing allocations for a virtual datacenter

Infrastructure admin users can modify the compute and storage allocations for a virtual datacenter.

Complete the following steps to change the allocations for a virtual datacenter:

  1. Log in to the ThinkAgile CP Cloud Controller.
  2. In the left navigation menu, expand the virtual datacenter you want to rename, and then click Overview to view the VDC Overview page.

  4. Scroll down the list of VDCs to find the VDC for which you want to modify the allocations.
    1. Under the Datacenter Allocation section, modify compute resources (CPU cores and Memory) from one or more compute categories within the migration zone(s). Enter the number of cores and the amount of memory in GiB.

      Attention

      Compute allocations must include both CPU cores and memory from the same compute category.

    2. Modify storage resources from the listed storage pool(s) by entering an amount in TiB.
      Note
      To enable quick DR backups, you must allocate resources to at least two storage pools. For more information about disaster recovery, see the following topic:
