Can I choose storage when deploying VMs ?

[MICDROP]

Hi, all.

I have another new question.

I know that business groups set up resources in the catalog.

Here, I set which storage is assigned to which VMs. But when I deploy a VM using a catalog, can I create a blueprint to choose a different storage?

(e.g., create a Xaas or a new workflow...)

Please give me some advice

Thank you.

You can force a disk onto a specific datastore using a custom property

VirtualMachine.Disk<N>.Storage

You have to set it before the VM is requested and the datastore has to be available to the Reservation the VM is requested for

Thanks for reply !

I mean, when User request for Catalog, can user create a form that allows users to select a datastore?

I'm a beginner of the vRA. Please understand if I stuffy

If you're using XaaS then definitely & I believe IaaS Custom Forms should allow it also. Like I said, you need to set that property to the name of the datastore. You will have to sort out what values to present to the user and then provide the property as a "Show in Request" value for the Blueprint
