Select or remove providers for a resource offering

For a resource offering to be successfully provisioned at subscription ordering time, at least one resource provider must be associated with the resource offering. Additional restrictions exist if resource environments are associated to service catalogs.

When you associate a resource offering with a provider, the following must be true for successful provisioning:

• The associated providers support the resource offering and can deploy it when a service instance is provisioned.
• If a resource offering is associated with multiple providers, the resource offering must be exactly the same on each of the associated providers. For example, the VMware vCenter template must be exactly the same on all the associated providers.
