The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter contains the following sections:
A Virtual Data Center (vDC) is an environment that combines virtual resources, operational details, rules, and policies to manage specific group requirements.
In Cisco UCS Director, a group can have and manage multiple virtual data centers. The system administrator can allocate quotas and assign resource limits for individual groups at the vDC level.
You can also define approvers for a vDC. This person approves user requests for VM provisioning in the vDC.
Note | There is a default vDC to which all discovered VMs are automatically added. These discovered VMs were either created outside of Cisco UCS Director, or existed on the SCVMM account before it was added to Cisco UCS Director. |
When completing a service request for VM provisioning, users can view a list of available vDCs for a particular group, and select the appropriate vDC.
A VM provisioned using a service request is associated with the vDC.
