Make Virtual Machines Available to Users

Use the following process to make VMware virtual machines available for reservations:

  1. Identify the virtual resource pool to which the VMs will be added when they are created.
  2. Define the VM templates that a user can use to create VMs.
  3. Set up access policy for both the resource pools and VM templates.

The following sections describe how to set up the Reservation Manager to support VM reservations.

Note: User permissions must be set up in the VMware product. See VMware vCenter and vSphere User Permissions.
