Adding a hard disk to
your VM
1. Click
Add Hard Disk
.
2. Fill in the following fields:
Name:
The name is the number in the order
the drive appears in its VM image list.
Type:
Select the type of hard disk you want
to create on the VM:
Hard Disk
iSCSI (see Warning)
N_Port ID Virtualized Storage (see
Warning)
Network Attached Storage
Source:
The repository on the hard disk of
the VM.
Size (GB):
The VM’s hard drive size,
ranging from 0.25 GB (250 MB) to 4 TB.
This is the maximum allowable size of the
VM.
Read Only Access:
Select this option to
give the hard drive Read-Only access. By
default, hard drives are writable.
Fabric ID:
(Available only for the N_Port ID
virtualized storage). Select or specify a
fabric ID
that uniquely identifies a SAN
repository.
The
Fabric ID
drop-down list is populated
with fabric IDs of the discovered SAN
repositories.
World Wide Name:
(Available only for the
N_Port ID virtualized storage). Select or
specify a unique
World Wide Name
.
The World Wide Name value is
automatically assigned for the NPIV disks.
You can edit it, if required.
Target ID:
(Available only for the N_Port ID
virtualized storage). Specify the
target ID
of
the SAN repository.
LUN:
(Available only for the N_Port ID
virtualized storage). Specify a
LUN
value
between 0 and 254.
3. Click
Apply
.
The following restrictions
apply per VM:
Limit of 4 fully
virtualized disks
(hda-hdd).
Limit of 16
paravirtualized
disks (xvda-xvdp).
WARNING:
Do not
select iSCSI or NPIV
when defining or editing
a template. This causes
all VMs cloned from the
template to use the
same iSCSI or NPIV
location, thus corrupting
the disk.
While adding an
additional NPIV disk to a
VM, ensure that the disk
values for Fabric ID,
World Wide Name,
Target ID, and LUN are
unique for each NPIV
disk of the VM.
Creation of a block-
based VM is not
supported for NPIV.
