Hi All,
The requirement is to lease fully loaded VMs( Application stack like Tomcat) to developers. The developers need access to these VMs right away. To provision a new VM won't be instantaneous so thought of creating few VMs in a pool( managed by VCO workflow) and lease them on request.. The users request through ASD service where user requests a required application and sets lease duration. Then VCO workflow chooses a vm from the pool and changes the owner from system a/c to user a/c and sets lease duration. When the lease expires the vm goes back into the pool. Let me know if there is better way to accomplish the requirement.
I am not able to change the owner of the vm successfully. The "Reconfigure" action fired from VCO workflow on a machine with new owner only changes owner in IaaS but not in VCAC Portal. When the requester logs into the portal the machine is not visible to the user. On VCAC portal items>Machine details> still shows old owner. I tried Use vCO to change Virtual Machine Owner which did not change the owner.Let me know your thoughts.
Any help appreciated.
