Step 1.3

Create a vRA Business Group

Creating a SovLabs-specific vRA Business Group allows entitlements and ownership of SovLabs content to be confined to its own group.

It is especially beneficial in environments which will eventually allow end-users to request their own VMs (self-service) and perform Day2 operations.

This is less of an issue for POC or development/trial instances.

Location Notes
vRA Console Create a vRA Business Group with the name sovlabs.

This Business Group is used for ownership of the SovLabs Service.

It does not need any reservations configured.

Recommended to create a Business Group named sovlabs specifically for this purpose
If you are an advanced vRA user and you already have a group, please note the desired business group for future purposes.
