Create a vSphere Reservation
You can use the reservation service to create a vSphere reservation.
Prerequisites
In addition to the Prerequisites, perform the following tasks before creating a reservation.
- Display a list of the reservation types that are supported in the vRealize Automation server. See Display a List of Supported Reservation Types.
- Obtain the permissible value field information required to create a new reservation. After you retrieve all permissible value field information, you have the input information required to create a reservation. See Get Resources Schema for a vSphere Reservation.
Procedure
Create a
vSphere
reservation.

Example: Create a vSphere Reservation
The command output is a URL that includes the new reservation ID, for example https://$vRA/reservation-service/api/reservations/94d74105-831a-4598-8f42-efd590fea15c.
