vRA7 – Business Groups

A Business Group can be compared with an Organization in vCloud Director. A Business Group could be for example a group of people in Dev, in Production and so on.

A prerequisite to a Business Group is a prefix. A prefix is required and effectively is a set of characters followed by the virtual machine name.

For instance – if your Prefix is ‘vra7-‘ – your virtual machines will have the virtual machine name ‘vra7-vmname‘

Navigate to Infrastructure > Administration > Machine Prefixed

Click New

vra7_config_076

Here just enter a prefix (name), the number of digits and what the next number will be.

Now time to create the Business Group

Navigate to Administration > Users & Groups > Business Groups

Click New

vra7_config_075

Give it a name and and email address

Click Next

vra7_config_078

Add the admin and user roles. The Support Role is required if you want to give a group permissions to deploy workloads on behalf of someone. Doesn’t apply in my environment.

Click Next

vra7_config_079

Select the newly created Machine Prefix

vra7_config_080

Click Finish

vra7_config_081

Now you can create your reservations.
