How do I create VM in specific location??

[wmz]

Hi there,

I am wanting to create a VM in a specific location such as:

/vmfs/volumes/LSI-RAID0/Templates

However I cannot see an option to 'choose' where I want to save the VM during initial creation. The wizard just create the VM here:

/vmfs/volumes/LSI-RAID0/<whatever name i choose for VM>

Is there a way to specifiy where I want to save the VM during creation?

Thank you for any help

I dont think vmfs supports subfolders in that way.

also from a performance point of view it would be better to have your templates on a seperate VMFS datastore to your guests.

You can't do this directly from VIC.

But you can move the directory after tou create it from the Service Console:

- Remove the guest from inventory

- In service conse, run: mv /vmfs/volumes/LSI-RAID0/.vmx and change all path.

- Add to inventory
