Tasks Steps Additional Details
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:
Š
Hard Disk
Š
iSCSI
Not supported as the first disk.
Š
N_Port ID Virtualized Storage (NPIV)
Not supported as the first disk.
Š
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
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 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
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 for N_Port ID
Virtualized Storage). Specify the target ID of
the SAN repository.
LUN: (Available only for N_Port ID
Virtualized Storage). Specify a LUN value
between 0 and 254.
3. Click Apply .
The following restrictions
apply per VM:
Š
Limit of 4 fully
virtualized disks
(hda-hdd).
Š
Limit of 16
paravirtualized
disks (xvda-xvdp).
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.
IMPORTANT: iSCSI and
NPIV can be used for
secondary disks.
However, if you add
iSCSI or NPIV as a
secondary disk, you can
change the order of the
disks and make it to be
the first disk. This is not
supported.
If you define iSCSI or
NPIV as a first disk,
when the VM is stopped
and restarted, the
configuration file that is
stored on the iSCSI or
NPIV disk is looked for in
a local repository, and
when not found, a local
repository is created for
the VM, thus losing
connection to the iSCSI
or NPIV disk.
