This page section describes how to manage virtual datacenters in private cloud and public cloud |
...
In the virtual datacentersin myCloud view you can manage your virtual compute, network, and storage resources. Each virtual datacenter (VDC) is a separate cloud environment in a single datacenter or public cloud region. . In private cloud a virtual datacenter is on a single rack so that a private network has one network tag, such as a VLAN tag, in the switch on the same rack.
To access Virtual datacenters, click the myCloud button in the main menu and then click the cloud virtual datacenters button at the top left of the screen.
...
In Azure, before you create a virtual datacenter, create a resource group and optionally create you can also create an availability set. See Manage resource groups and Manage availability sets
In Google Cloud Platform, before you create a virtual datacenter, create a global network and create a subnet See Manage global networks and subnets
...
Go to myCloud view → Virtual datacenters
Below the V. datacenters list, click the + add button
Select Create a new virtual datacenter from the pull-down menu
For the General information:
For the Location select the datacenter or public cloud region to use
For the Network select from:
Default: The platform creates a private network using the platform settings (from Configuration view → Network) and assigns the default network (from the enterprise or platform settings)
None: The platform does not create a private network or assign a the default network. This option is not available in Azure or OCI.
Custom Private: Create The platform creates a custom private network (see details below) and assigns the default network (from the enterprise or platform settings)
If your environment uses NAT, you can select:
NAT network: to use for the default SNAT rule
Default NAT IP: for the default SNAT rule
Click Save
...
When you create a virtual datacenter , with the None selected option for the Network, the platform does not create a default private network or assign the default network of the enterprise or platform.
If there is no default network in the virtual datacenter, and the user tries to deploy a VM without a NIC, then the deploy will fail because the platform cannot automatically assign an IP address.
...
Create a virtual datacenter with a default or custom network
When you create a virtual datacenter , with Default selected for the Network, the platform creates a private network. This 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 network, which is called default_private_network, or a custom private network, which you can define with the Custom private option, and the . The platform will set it assign the private network as the default network if there is no other enterprise default network.

Field | Description |
|---|---|
Default datastore tier | Select the default disk service level for VM disks on the hypervisor datastore.
To clear the current tier, click the black |
Subnet | In Google Cloud Platform you must select a default subnet to be able to deploy VMs |
After you create the virtual datacenter, you can edit it to change the default values.
...
If you are able to manage user roles, you can limit user access to a virtual datacenter for users that can have their virtual datacenters restricted (usually ordinary standard cloud users). For example, you can give users read-only access. You can only apply restricted roles to users that can have their VDCs restricted, which are users without the No VDC restriction privilege.

Privileges: Manage roles, No VDC restriction |
...
Go to myCloud → Virtual datacenters
Create, edit, or onboard a virtual datacenter
Go to Roles
For the Role, select a more restrictive role to replace user roles within this virtual datacenter.
For example, to give cloud users read-only access, select theENTERPRISE_VIEWERroleTo create exceptions to the VDC role:
Select a Username and an exception Role for the user
Click Add
When you finish creating or editing the virtual datacenter, click Save
The exception will enable activate all privileges that are included in both the user's role and the exception role. It is not possible to grant additional privileges using a VDC role.
...
The platform will create the virtual datacenter and the default private VLAN and display it in the Virtual datacenters view (and any selected private network) and you can work with its virtual resources.
...
Create a virtual datacenter using the API
...
Go to Virtual datacenters → Edit → Defaults
For the Default firewall, select an appropriate firewall firewall
...
To manage tags for a virtual datacenter:
Go to Virtual datacenters → Edit a virtual datacenter → Tags
Add tags
For more details see Edit resource tags.
...
Set the default network for all virtual datacenters
By default, the platform automatically creates a default private network for each virtual datacenter. If So if you deploy a VM without assigning a NIC, the platform will add one from the default network.
...
To define the default private network for all virtual datacenters in the platform, go to Configuration view → Network
To set the default network for all virtual datacenters in an enterprise: Edit edit the enterprise and go to Datacenters, edit a datacenter and go to Default network. You can select the platform platform’s default private network or an external network of the enterprise
When you change these values, the new values will apply to new virtual datacenters.
...
Set a default network after you create a virtual datacenter
...
To set a network as the default, you will require privileges to access this network in the virtual infrastructure.

Select the Default network checkbox
The new default network will replace any previous default network
The new default network will apply to all VMs deployed after you set it
For a public network, obtain IP addresses before you deploy a VM
For an external network, your administrator must create IP addresses in infrastructure for your VMs before you deploy a VM
