Administration Guide › Setting Up Reservation Manager

Setting Up Reservation Manager

The Operations Center portal lets you reserve virtual machines, create reservation stacks, manage reservations, and view inventory, dashboards, and reports.

After CA Server Automation installs, complete the following activities to prepare Operations Center for use:

Set up organizational units to control user access to systems and system images.
Define one or more resource pools and specify access policies.
Add the systems that you want to make available to users to the inventory, classify them, and associate them with one or more resource pools.
Identify operating system images (and virtual system stacks) that you want to make available to users and specify access policies.

There is no specific order in which you must complete these activities.

This chapter describes post-installation tasks for setting up the Reservation Manager for end users.

Note: The Reservation Manager online help describes best practices and how to use the Reservation Manager. The installation process is detailed in the Installation Guide.
