vCloud director || Tenant portal CPU/Memory/Storage customization

Hi Guys,

vCloud director || Tenant portal CPU/Memory/Storage customization

I logged in as a organization administrator in tenant portal "https://myvcd/tenant/test"

I have few doubt on new HTML5 interface of vcloud director.While creating a VM in new HTML5 tenant interface,i could not able to customize the CPU/memory.storage size.For example,i need to enter 10 GB for linux VM which is not available to enter.

However in the old Flash interface,i see the option to enter whatever i want(for example 10 GB HD for test VM). Is there any options available to do this in HTML5 tenant interface ?

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

My question is:-

When im creating a new VM(lets see OS drive(C) only.It is coming 40 GB,80 GB,160 GB etc...),i could not see any option to customize.Suppose if i want to give only 100 GB to OS drive,there is no option to provide.

Note:- Apart from C drive(OS drive),it is possible to provide whatever i want(lets see D drive is 50 GB).

Yea looks like you can't put the custom values. Your tenant can use Flash portal to do more customisable settings. Hope new version will have more options.

agreed, but rules of fight club state that you must not mention fight club.
