Reservation Policies, Reservations and Compute resource

[atoerper]

Our scenario is that we need to offer provisioning to 3 different vSphere clusters(compute resources) in separate vCenter instances. We have dozens of Business groups and plan on allow each business group to provision got these 3 clusters. We have found the only way to accomplish this is to create 3 reservations for each business groups each pointing to one of the 3 compute resources and then tagging each reservation with a reservation policy. This seems to be highly inefficient. Is there no way to point a reservation to multiple compute resources?

Is there no way to point a reservation to multiple compute resources?

Unfortunately not, and this is one of inherent limitations of vRA which they improved upon in CAS with the concept of projects. A reservation is still a 1:1 mapping between a compute resource, because a reservation cannot track multiple resources across different clusters.

You will have to create multiple reservations for each compute resource and assign them to Reservation Policies. You can then programmatically assign the approprate reservation by changning the ReservationPolicyId during the requested subscription event.
