Configure Chargeback Display

The chargeback feature provides a way to charge on an hourly basis for the use of virtual machines. The product comes with pricing models for VMware and Amazon Cloud. The default is 0 (no hourly charge), and the administrator can change the value.

If chargeback is not used, the administrator can suppress the display of the hourly rate and total cost so that end users do not see it.

To suppress the display of chargeback hourly rate and total cost

  1. Log in to the Reservation Manager using the CA Server Automation administrator user credentials.

    The home page opens.

  2. Click Administer Your Reservation Manager.

    The Administration page opens.

  3. Click Manage your configuration settings.

    The Configure Settings page opens.

  4. Click the following link in the Reservations area.
    Display Chargeback Cost Information

    Indicates whether users see the chargeback hourly rate and total cost.

    Default: true (users see chargeback information)

  5. Enter a value and click OK.

    The change takes effect when you restart the browser.
