Persistent storage
In private cloud, you can set prices for the persistent storage tiers. In public cloud regions, the platform automatically imports the storage tiers from the providers so you can price them.

In private cloud datacenters and VCD public cloud regions, you can set prices for backup policies. You can also set prices for backup policies for size per GB that will override the datacenter pricehave priority over datacenter backup size pricing.

When users request a pricing estimate for their virtual appliance, the platform will include the price of the backup policies of each VM in the VM_PRICES list.
The platform can bill backups with a monthly fixed cost per policy and/or a separate cost for backup size.
In version 6.1, the platform accounts for accounting process saves the usage of backup policies and backup size in GB. For To calculate the backup size, it adds up the total size of valid (non-expired) backups in GB, and it uses the backup price per GB for billing.
For example, a customer has a VM with 50 GB of hard disk, and the size of their non-expired backups is 42 GB. And the customer is using a daily backup policy, with a backup policy price of $20. The the backup price per GB is $1. In Abiquo 6.1+, the customer will pay $20 + ($42 * $1) = $62 per month.

access to pricing models
If a user cannot access pricing model as expected, check the following points.
When you create a pricing model, Abiquo automatically assigns the same scope as your user. The Abiquo UI does not display the scope of the pricing model
Users with pricing privileges can always display the pricing model of their own enterprise. Administrators who can switch to another enterprise can display the current pricing model of the enterprise, even if the pricing model has a different scope
To display or manage the pricing model of another enterprise in Pricing view, you must have the same scope as the creator of the pricing model
