Creating assets

An asset represents a product instance provisioned to a customer. In this case, it is a customer project with defined quotas in Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure.

You can create an asset for testing purposes as follows:

  1. In the vendor portal, go to the Assets page and click + Create asset.
  2. In Create Asset — Step 1 Introduction, read about assets and click Next.

  3. In Create Asset — Step 2 Product, select a product and click Next.

  4. In Create Asset — Step 3 Marketplace, select a marketplace available for the provider and click Next.

  5. In Create Asset — Step 4 Tiers, select the tier configuration depending on the tier model of your marketplace and click Next.

  6. (Optional, appears only if you have chosen T1+T2 reseller tiers model) In Create Asset — Step 5 T2 Account, choose a T2 reseller account from the drop-down list or create a new one by clicking New. Then click Next.
  7. In Create Asset — Step 6 T1 Account, choose a T1 reseller account from the drop-down list or create a new one by clicking New. Then click Next.
  8. In Create Asset — Step 7 Customer, choose a customer from the drop-down list or create a new one by clicking New. Then click Next.

  9. In Create Asset — Step 8 Asset Items, click + Add Items.

    In a window that opens, select all items that represent compute resources in Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure and click Select.

    For the reservation model, change the quantity for items you need. For the pay-as-you-go model, the item quantity cannot be defined. Then click Next.

    If you are not going to use all of the items, you can exclude unnecessary ones from the asset later by setting their quantity to 0.
  10. In Create Asset — Step 9 Attributes, leave the default external ID and UUID, and click Next.

  11. In Create Asset — Step 10 Parameters, specify the project name and user credentials for a project and user that will be created in Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure. Then click Create.

  12. In Create Asset — Step 11 Summary, review the created objects and their current statuses. Click Close to return to the list of assets.

After the asset is created, its status is changed to Active. You can view the asset details by clicking its ID. The asset page also provides the link to the VDC login page. The Requests tab contains all requests associated with this asset.
