Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Provider vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the provider vDC name and select Delete.
Modify a Provider vDC Name and Description
As your Cloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more descriptive name or description
to an existing provider vDC.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Provider vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the provider vDC name and select Properties.
3 Type a new name or description and click OK.
You can use the name and description fields to indicate the vSphere functionality available to the provider
vDC, for example, VMware HA.
Enable or Disable a Provider vDC Host
You can disable a host to prevent vApps from starting up on the host. Virtual machines that are already running
on the host are not affected.
To perform maintenance on a host, migrate all vApps off of the host or stop all vApps and then disable the
host.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Provider vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the provider vDC name and select Open.
3 Click the Hosts tab.
4 Right-click the host name and select Enable Host or Disable Host.
Cloud Director enables or disables the host for all provider vDCs that use its resources.
Prepare or Unprepare a Provider vDC Host
When you add an ESX/ESXi host to a vSphere cluster that Cloud Director uses, you must prepare the host
before a provider vDC can use its resources. You can unprepare a host to remove it from the Cloud Director
environment.
For information about moving running virtual machines from one host to another, see “Move Running Virtual
Machines from one ESX/ESXi Host to Another,” on page 65.
You cannot prepare a host that is in lockdown mode. After you prepare a host, you can enable lockdown mode.
Prerequisites
Before you can unprepare a host, you must disable it and ensure that no virtual machines are running on the
host.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Provider vDCs in the left pane.
2 Right-click the provider vDC name and select Open.
