Elements
Element | Type | Required | Modifiable | Since | Deprecated | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AutomaticNetworkPoolReference | AutomaticNetworkPoolReferenceType | No | always | 5.9 | Indicates that the Provider VDC's automatically-created VXLAN network pool should be used. NetworkPoolReference must be empty if this element appears in the request. | |
FastProvisioningEnabled | boolean | No | always | 5.7 | Boolean to request fast provisioning. Request will be honored only if the underlying datastore supports it. Fast provisioning can reduce the time it takes to create virtual machines by using vSphere linked clones. If you disable fast provisioning, all provisioning operations will result in full clones. | |
GatewayConfiguration | VdcTemplateSpecificationGatewayConfigurationType | No | always | 5.7 | Defines a gateway and NAT Routed organization VDC network to be created. | |
NetworkPoolReference | ReferenceType | No | always | 5.7 | Reference to a network pool in the Provider VDC. Must be empty if you specify AutomaticNetworkPoolReference. | |
NicQuota | int | Yes | always | 5.7 | Maximum number of virtual NICs allowed in this vDC. Defaults to 0, which specifies an unlimited number. | |
ProvisionedNetworkQuota | int | Yes | always | 5.7 | Maximum number of network objects that can be deployed in this VDC. Defaults to 0, which means no networks can be deployed. | |
StorageProfile | VdcStorageProfileType | Yes | always | 5.7 | A set of name of Storage Profiles, with corresponding limit value, that all Provider VDCs must have, and that are selected at the time of VDC Template instantiation. | |
ThinProvision | boolean | No | always | 5.7 | Boolean to request thin provisioning. Request will be honored only if the underlying datastore supports it. Thin provisioning saves storage space by committing it on demand. This allows over-allocation of storage. | |
VmQuota | int | No | always | 5.7 | The quota of VMs that can be created in this vDC. Includes VMs in both vApps and vApp templates, deployed, or otherwise. Defaults to 0, which specifies an unlimited number. |
