Configuring vCloud Director Organization Settings

To configure vCloud Director organization settings:

1. Log in to the Enterprise Manager web UI using the administrative account.
2. Click Configuration and select Self-service view on the left. On the vCloud tab you will see the list of vCloud Director organization configurations that you can manage.

3. By default, initially a sample organization is created and displayed in the preview pane on the right. It has the following settings:

• Organization – Other vCloud organizations
• Repository – repository server from backup infrastructure that has the maximum free space
• Quota – default value is 1 TB

These settings will be applied to all vCloud Director organizations without individual settings, that is, for those not included in this list of managed configurations. vCloud Director backup job settings for such organizations will be copied from default job settings as they are shown in the Veeam backup console. For more information, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. By default, the sample organization is inactive (the Repository column contains Disable self-service backup for other organizations value). For more information on modifying the sample organization configuration, see Modifying vCloud Director Organization Settings.

4. Click the Add button to add a new configuration.
5. In the window displayed, select the Organization from the list of those available to you. These are vCloud Director organizations from vCloud Director servers processed by Veeam backup servers (added to Enterprise Manager).
6. Assign the Repository that will be used by organization VMs. The list includes repositories configured for managed Veeam backup servers.

7. Specify repository storage Quota that will be applied. You can choose GB or TB from the drop-down list and enter the required quantity.
8. Select how Job scheduling will be organized. The following options are available:

• Allow: Tenant has full access to all job scheduling options.
• Allow: Tenant can create daily and monthly jobs only.
• Deny: Creates daily jobs with randomized start time within the backup window.

Make sure that the backup window is configured within the Enterprise Manager UI and not within the Veeam Backup & Replication backup job settings. For more information on the backup window configuration, see Customizing Dashboard Appearance.

• Deny: Creates job with no schedule assigned.

For more detailed information on job scheduling, see Schedule the Job.

9. You can click Show Advanced Job Settings link to specify what backup job will be used as a template for vCloud Director organization VMs processing. Then select the backup job which settings will be copied and used as a template - for that, use the Copy from list:

• Default job settings – backup job will be configured with the standard default vCloud Director backup job settings as they are shown in the Veeam backup console. For more information, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
• <job_name> – select the vCloud Director backup job from which settings will be obtained. When finished, click Apply.

10. If you do not use the Show Advanced Job Settings link, default job settings will be applied to template.

11. Click Save to save configuration.

Also, as an Enterprise Manager administrator, you can modify existing settings or remove the organization from the list of managed configurations.

Report on vCloud Organization Configuration

To download a report on configuration of vCloud Director organizations, click Export. The report will be saved to the excelreport file in the default location (local Downloads folder). This report includes information on existing organizations with configuration different from default, and organizations that have default configuration with assigned repository quota. (Thus, sample organization named Other vCloud organizations will not be included in the report.)
