When you add hypervisor datastores to Abiquo, you can present them to the Cloud users in datastore tiers.  Tiers enable you to provide multiple storage types with different performance, features and price points.

titleClick here to show/hide the task: Create allocation rules

 

To create allocation rules

  1. Select the Data Center data center and edit. Select the Allocation Rules tab
  2. Add a new 'DATACENTER' rule on the right pane with the + icon. Select the Rule type such as 'Compute load level' as below. This rule can be used for oversubscription of CPU. For example, in a test system with small VM templates, you could set RAM to 100% and CPU to 400%. You can also set a storage load level rule for datastore usage.

    If you are adding a vCenter cluster directly as a physical machine, use the server rule not the cluster rule.
