This is just a really quick note to let folks know that yesterday on my Virtacore vCloud Express I\u00a0happened\u00a0to determine that the Organization vDC I was in was running Fast Provisioning. \u00a0Not hard to tell when things are deployed very fast actually. \u00a0I inquired and\u00a0because\u00a0I was an early Beta tester it had been enabled, but new accounts are not. \u00a0Once they disabled it I was stuck trying to\u00a0figure\u00a0out how to convert them. \u00a0In my home lab as a system administrator this is easy since you can “Consolidate”. \u00a0Notice below the “consolidate” is not an option.<\/p>\n
However as a normal Organization Administrator you can still do it pretty\u00a0easily. \u00a0Either way you need to shut the vApp down first. \u00a0Once you have them shut down you do not have the\u00a0consolidate\u00a0function. \u00a0However you can select “Move To”, and in the next field simply select the SAME\u00a0Organization\u00a0VDC. \u00a0In the case of a vCloud Express Provider it is the only one available. \u00a0If you have multiple Organization VDC’s then just select the same one you’re vApp is currently in.<\/p>\n
