Template store

Templates, whether created internally or downloaded from the Lenovo Cloud Marketplace, are stored in the template store in Cloud Controller. The template store is a portion of a storage pool; and, as such, it is a local, private storage space that can only be accessed by users within your organization.

ThinkAgile CP has three types of template repositories.

• The Lenovo Cloud Marketplace. All users have access to the Lenovo Cloud Marketplace. However, you must be logged in as an infrastructure admin user or a VDC manager user to download templates.

• The template store for the organization, which is a repository of templates accessible to anyone in a given organization, irrespective of the storage pool in which they are stored (they are copied over to the local storage pool as needed).

  In the left navigation, click Applications > Organization Templates in the left navigation to view the templates.

  Note

  VDC manager users and VDC viewer users click Organization > Organization Templates.

• An individual template store for each virtual datacenter. Templates are stored only in the storage pools that are allocated to that virtual datacenter.

  In the left navigation, click a VDC and then click VDC Templates to view the templates.
