no network

In private cloud, when you create a virtual datacenter, with None selected for the Network, the platform does not create a default private network. But the platform will create the default virtual datacenter network for the enterprise in the datacenter, if it is another type of network, such as an external network.

If there is no network in the VDC, and the user tries to deploy a VM without a NIC, then the deploy will fail.

To set the default network for the enterprise in a datacenter, edit the enterprise and go to Datacenters, and edit the datacenter, and go to Default network.

...

Create a virtual datacenter with a default network

When you create a virtual datacenter, with Default selected for the Network, the platform always creates a private network and it counts as part of your network allocation limits, even if the default network for the enterprise in the datacenter is is another type of network, such as an external network.

The private network can be the Automatically-created private VLAN, which is called default_private_network, or a custom private network, which will be set as the default network.

Set a default network for a virtual datacenter

Each virtual datacenter requires a default network. The platform automatically creates a default private network for each virtual datacenter.
You can configure the default network to be a private network, an external network, or a public network.
You can configure a default network for each enterprise in a datacenter.
If you deploy a VM without assigning a NIC, the platform will add one from the default network.

To set a network as the default, you will require privileges to access this network in the virtual infrastructure.
