vRA7 : Display a pull-down menu to select VMware clusters

[a_ranga]

Hi,

We were using property definitions with property attributes to display a pull-down menu with VMware cluster options for the user to select in the VM request form in vCAC 5.1.

Moving to vRA 7, we are not able to use the property definitions as property attributes cannot be associated with the definitions in this version. Looking for ideas to  incorporate this in vRA 7.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Long standing request... easiest way to do this is to make use of Location (if it's not in use for anything else) and then associate that with each Compute Resource.

This would assume that each Business Group has a Reservation created and available from each Compute Resource.

Thanks for the response, Grant. I did exactly that, but was wondering if there was an easier way to achieve this.

Not easier, but more powerful in conjunction with relationships

Thanks, Michael. I was able to further customize it with relationships.
