IBM Cloud Orchestrator, Version 2.5.0.2

Reassigning VMware instances to a project

Reassigning VMware virtual machine instances to a project enables virtual machines that have been loaded to a default project to be assigned to the project of a user who owns them.

Before you begin

You must have an admin role on the source project containing the instances to be reassigned.
Important: This feature is available only if you are using IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack V4.3 fix pack 6 or later.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenStack Dashboard as a Cloud Administrator.
  2. In the navigation pane, click PROJECT > Instances.
  3. Find the instances to be reassigned and select the check boxes beside their names.
  4. Click Reassign Instances.
  5. Selected instances contain a list of the instances that are selected from the Instances table. The following options are available:
    • To clear an instance, click the instance in the list box. At least one instance must be selected.
    • To select all instances press Ctrl-Shift-End.
  6. In the Reassign Instances window, select the Target Domain where the instances are to be assigned.
  7. Select Target Project where the instances are to be assigned.
  8. Click Reassign.
    Note: When a virtual machine instance is reassigned from one project to another, the resources that are associated with the virtual machine (such as networks, IPs, flavors) are owned by the source project. If there are access issues to these resources from the new project, you need to recreate the resources on the new project.

Results

A message is displayed indicating that the instances have been reassigned successfully from the source domain and project to the target domain and project.
