Chapter 11 Administrative API Reference
ComputeCapacity
The administrative view of a ComputeCapacity element includes two elements: IsElastic and IsHa , that an
administrator can change. These elements are not visible in the user view.
Cpu
Unlike the Cpu element that appears in the ComputeCapacity of a Vdc , the Cpu element that appears in the
ComputeCapacity of a ProviderVdc is an instance of ProviderVdcCapacityType . It defines the CPU
capacity that can be allocated from a vDC and optionally reports how much of that capacity is in use.
Memory
Unlike the Memory element that appears in the ComputeCapacity of a Vdc , the Memory element that appears
in the ComputeCapacity of a ProviderVdc is an instance of ProviderVdcCapacityType . It defines the
memory capacity that can be allocated from a vDC and optionally reports how much of that capacity is in use.
Vdcs 0 1 VdcsType Container for Vdc objects that are
provisioned from this provider vDC.
IsEnabled 0 1 xs:boolean True if this provider vDC is enabled
NetworkPoolReferences 0 1 NetworkPoolReferencesType Container for NetworkPoolReference
objects that are provisioned from this
provider vDC

Name Min Max Type Description
Schema
Name Min Max Type Description
Cpu 1 1 ProviderVdcCapacityType Defines CPU capacity available in the provider vDC
Memory 1 1 ProviderVdcCapacityType Defines memory capacity available in the provider vDC
IsElastic 0 1 xs:boolean True if compute capacity can grow or shrink based on demand
IsHA 0 1 xs:boolean True if compute capacity is highly available.
Schema
Name Min Max Type Description
Units 1 1 xs:string Units in which the capacity is measured. For CPU devices, this is always
Megahertz, represented by the string MHz .
Allocation 0 1 xs:long Number of Units that have been allocated to consumers
Total 1 1 xs:long Maximum number of Units that can be allocated to all consumers
Used 0 1 xs:long Percentage of the allocation in use. This value is read ‐ only.
Overhead 0 1 xs:long Number of Units allocated to vShield Manager virtual machines provisioned
from this vDC. This value is read ‐ only.
Schema
Name Min Max Type Description
Units 1 1 xs:string Specifies the units in which the capacity is measured. For storage devices, this is
always Megabytes, represented by the string MB.
Allocation 0 1 xs:long Number of Units that have been allocated to consumers
Total 1 1 xs:long Maximum number of Units that can be allocated to all consumers
Used 0 1 xs:long Percentage of the allocation in use. This value is read ‐ only.
Overhead 0 1 xs:long Number of Units allocated to vShield Manager virtual machines provisioned
from this vDC. This value is read ‐ only.
