Reserve private IPs for virtual datacenters

The private IP reservation feature will prevent users from assigning reserved IPs to VMs within the platform. The platform does not display reserved IPs to allow users to select them for VMs.
You can only assign reserved IPs to VMs from outside of the platform, for example, using a script.
If you onboard a VM with a reserved IP, the platform logs a warning message.

Privileges: Manage private IP reservation

To reserve private IPs:

Go to myCloud → Virtual datacenters → Networks → Private
Select the IPs and click the padlock reserve button at the bottom of the panel
Enter the reason for the reservation
The platform will list the VMs in the virtual datacenter. Optionally, select VMs to indicate where the IPs may be used. Note that you must check that the VMs are able to use these IPs. This selection does not assign the IPs to VMs.

The platform will display a padlock symbol and the reason beside the IP reserved addresses.
