can we deploy vapp disks in two diff datastores

hi

The deploy wizard doesn't allow place vmdk's of ova in diff datastores.

1. Is there a way i can modify the ovf file to have deploy wizard allow disk to be placed in diff datastores.

e.g. say ova has two disks i want to keep the each disk in diff datastore.

2. What should be the workaround post deployment.

how should i move the disks to diff datastores , do i need to modify the VMX file after moving the disk to diff datastore.

any document for the same will help

thanks

Hi  sriven,

Welcome to communites.

you are right , there is no option to put in different data store .

its like virtual box no advanced option available.

thanks emma,

so after post deployment how shall i move my disk?

for instance say my vapp has 3 disks

i want to keep the first disk separate from other two disk

i tried this.

1. unregister the vmx

2.Select the disk , rt click --> move the disk to diff datastore

3.create new VM with existing disk.

is there a simple VM apart from the above?

thanks
