Hello to everyone and thanks in advance!
I'm trying to determine if it is possible to do the following:
- I have a vCenter Template with 2 Disks (Disks 0:0 and 0:1, or HD 1 and 2, however you prefer to reference them)
- I have a blueprint using this template, I can do all the usual vRA deployment items, all the OOTB stuff works as expected - (this is fine)
However, I need to make sure that HD 3/4/5/etc are always set to Independent Persistent. I wanted to use the VirtualMachine.DiskN.VMwareType property to set the Independent Persistent option, however it looks like you can only apply this as a custom property to to disks that "exist" in the blueprint (the ones read from the vcenter template).
So, to recap, I want to know (how would I?) set vRA such that when a user requests a vm and they are presented with the storage tab, they can add a 3rd/4th/5th/nth disk in the request, however when the request is processed, disks 3/4/5/n are created and set to Independent Persistent at time of build.
I would love to not have to build a seperate workflow to read and do this action in the provisioning step, but right now, that's the only way I can see aside from making multiple templates and hardcoding values.
Thanks again!
