Procedure
1 Click the Workflows view in the Orchestrator client.
2 In the workflows hierarchical list, select Library > vCloud Director Samples to navigate to the Provision
new network pool backed by a new DVS port group workflow.
3 Right-click the Provision new network pool backed by a new DVS port group workflow and select Start
workflow.
4 Select the vCloud Director instance in which to add the new network pool.
5 Select the vCenter Server from the vCloud Director instance to back the new port groups.
6 Type the name of the cluster from the vCenter Server to back the new port groups.
7 Type the Managed Object Reference (MoRef) ID of the distributed virtual switch (DVS) to contain the new
port groups.
You can check the MoRef ID by selecting the DVS from the vCenter Server 4.1 Inventory view, and
searching for the id value on the General tab in the right pane.
8 Specify the options for the new port groups.
a Type the number of port groups to be created.
b Select the type of the port groups. You can select earlyBinding, lateBinding, or ephemeral.
c Type a name prefix for the port groups.
d Type the number of DVS ports to be created for each port group.
9 Type a name and a description of the network pool.
10 Click Submit to run the workflow.
The workflow first creates a number of port groups with the specified number of ports, and then creates a
network pool backed by those port groups. The created port groups are backed by an existing distributed
virtual switch from a cluster inside one of the vCenter Server hosts attached to the vCloud Director instance.
Run the Provision Provider vDC on Top of New ESX Server Workflow
You can run a workflow to attach a new ESX host to the vCloud Director instance and optionally create a new
provider vDC that is backed by the attached ESX host.
A provider vDC is a group of compute, memory, and storage resources from one vCenter Server host. You can
use vCloud Director to allocate portions of a provider vDC to your organizations.
