Adding, Modifying, or Deleting a VDC Size Standard
Cisco IAC ships with six predefined VDC standards that OTAs can choose when commissioning VDCs:
Small, Medium, and Large standards define the sizes for VDCs.
Small Shared, Medium Shared, and Large Shared standards define the sizes for Shared Zones.
Each standard defines the following settings:

Maximum number of
virtual servers limit

The maximum number of virtual servers allowed in this VDC. After this limit has been reached,
additional virtual servers cannot be created in the VDC.

Maximum memory
(GB) limit
(GB) limit
The maximum amount of memory in GB allowed in this VDC. Enforcement of this limit is based
on the memory specification in the Server standards. The memory limit is also used for
creating the VMware resource pool.

CPU Limit (MHz)
The maximum amount of CPU in MHz virtual servers in this VDC is allowed to use. This number
is determined by the CPU compute capacity available in the cluster. This enforced through the
VMware resource pool CPU Limit. -1 specifies unlimited.

Community VDC (Yes
- No boolean)
- No boolean)
Specifies whether this standard applies to a Shared Zone Community VDC. This should be set
to Yes, if this standard is for a Shared Zone Community VDC and No, if this standard is for an
organization VDC. This setting is case sensitive.

Size Order
Specifies the order of the sizes relative to each other. An Integer is used to define this. For
example, Small is 1, Medium is 2, Large is 3.
