FORCE PROVISIONING USING AVAILABLE RESOURCES

Abstract:

The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for force provisioning using available resources. A request can be received to provision a virtual computing instance by a software defined data center according to a storage policy specified as part of the request. An insufficiency of storage policy resources to satisfy the storage policy specified for the VCI can be determined. A best-match storage policy can be determined for the VCI based on available storage policy resources, and the VCI can be force provisioned according to the best-match storage policy using the available storage policy resources
