Organizations are a foundational concept of the vCloud environment. Organizations are used to separate tenants within a vCloud environment and can be interpreted in many ways depending on the use case for a vCloud deployment. For an internal vCloud provider, the organizations might represent departments that need to keep assets separated, such as in a university, governmental setting, or even a subsidiary of a company. For external vCloud providers, organizations might represent wholly separate businesses that have contracts with the provider.
To begin this recipe, you will need your vCloud environment running along with a PowerCLI window.
Before you can provision organizations in vCloud Director, you need to define a Provider Virtual Data Center (Provider vDC) in vCloud Director. If you have not performed this, you will need log in to the web interface and set this up.
