Assign a VM Placement Policy and a VM Sizing Policy to a vApp Template Using Your VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal

In the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal, to associate the VMs of a vApp template with specific VM placement and VM sizing policies, you can tag individual VMs of a vApp template with the policies you want to assign.

You can allow the users to change the predefined VM placement or VM sizing policies while editing a VM.

Note:

All preexisting template taggings are modifiable. If you want to disallow the changes to the predefined VM placement or VM sizing policies, you must deselect the Modifiable check box for the policies that you want to be unchangeable.

• Verify that you have at least one vApp template in your VMware Cloud Director environment.
