If you have the need to keep a very tight control over your templates, this recipe shows how you can easily achieve it.
To implement this recipe, we need to create a new organization, so we also need to create an OvDC. However, we don't really need any resources, so we could share the PvDC with some other organization.
I would recommend using a dedicated storage profile for this new organization (see the How it works... section).
We are now creating the ADMIN
Organization with all the bits and pieces that we need. I personally always call it ADMIN
(in caps) so it sticks out.
Perform the following steps for creating the ADMIN
Organization:
Log in to vCloud as
SysAdmin
.Click on Manage & Monitor and then on Organizations.
Click on the green icon (+).
Give the organization a name that indicates that you are using it for templates only. I personally always use
ADMIN
.Don't choose LDAP, as then this organization...
