Figure 9.8 Selecting the logical networks available to the cloud
The hardware load balancers that can be used can be selected on this screen. The
hardware load balancers displayed will depend on the host groups selected and the
logical networks selected, because a hardware load balancer is tied to host groups and
logical networks. Once again, click Next to continue; now you can select the virtual IP
profiles to make available to the cloud; these are tied to the load balancers selected on
the previous screen (do you see the pattern now?). Make the selections and click Next.
The various types of port classifications for the cloud are displayed; you should select
the ones desired for the cloud and click Next.
The Storage stage of the wizard displays all tiers of storage that are available within
the selected host groups. Select the tiers of storage that should be available to the
cloud, as shown in Figure 9.9. For a development cloud, as an example, I would select
lower tiers of storage such as bronze. Only storage tiers that are available to the
selected host groups will be displayed. Click Next.

The next step is selecting a library configuration. There are two parts to this. First, you
select the read-only library shares, which are standard SCVMM libraries in the
environment to which you want to grant this cloud access and the contained resources
that can be used to create virtual machines and services. You could create libraries
with a subset of ISO images to limit what can be created in the clouds. The read-only
library needs to be unique and not used as part of a standard library. Second, you
specify a stored VM path, which is an area in which the users of the cloud can store
content. Why do you want to give the cloud users a writeable library area? Consider
