dedicated option #2

Closed ju2wheels closed 10 years ago

How does the dedicated option map to the 3 SL options shown here: http://www.softlayer.com/cloudlayer/computing/ ? Or is it simply an option which controls whether its a CCI vs bare metal?

Thanks,

Got the answer from SL support:

With regards to the private vs standard (in regards to cpu as show in SL CLI create-options), I have double checked and the private would be on a separate host to be setup for it's own configurations whereas standard would be a bit more of a shared environment. The 'dedicatedAccountHostOnlyFlag' would be used to set the CCIs to be provisioned on the same node so long as your account is already on that node. This is entirely dependant on your account already being on the host rather than the type of CCI being provisioned. As for the portal ordering process, this flag would be set to false by default as our CCIs are provisioned on the data-center you choose as well as the host availability based on the resources you are ordering.
