3.5.1. Creating a New Data Center
Summary
This procedure creates a data center in your virtualization environment. The data center requires a functioning cluster, host, and storage domain to operate.
Note
The storage Type can be edited until the first storage domain is added to the data center. Once a storage domain has been added, the storage Type cannot be changed.
If you set the Compatibility Version as 3.1, it cannot be changed to 3.0 at a later time; version regression is not allowed.
Procedure 3.1. Creating a New Data Center
- Select the Data Centers resource tab to list all data centers in the results list.
- Click to open the New Data Center window.
- Enter the Name and Description of the data center.
- Select the storage Type, Compatibility Version, and Quota Mode of the data center from the drop-down menus.
- Click to create the data center and open the New Data Center - Guide Me window.
- The Guide Me window lists the entities that need to be configured for the data center. Configure these entities or postpone configuration by clicking the button; configuration can be resumed by selecting the data center and clicking the button.
Result
The new data center is added to the virtualization environment. It will remain Uninitialized until a cluster, host, and storage domain is configured for it; use Guide Me to configure these entities.
