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. The default is zero (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. As administrator in the Reservation Manager portal, select Administration, Settings.

    The Settings page opens.

  2. Click in the Value field in the following Reservations area.
    Display Chargeback Cost Information
  3. Enter a value and click Save.

    The change takes effect when you restart the browser.
