Hi all,
I have multiple storage domains in my DC. One is backed up that has
templates and another one which isn't backed up and I want to use it for VM
instances of the template.
I cannot find an option to create the VM from a template and use a storage
domain other than where the template is stored.
Is it even possible?
Assuming you're asking about the administration portal, it depends on the
selected allocation policy (which you can find in the Resource Allocation
tab of the add-VM dialog):
- If it is set to 'Clone' then you can select any other storage domain that
is available in the DC to clone the template's disk to
- If it is set to 'Thin' then a VM disk must reside on a storage domain
that contains the template's disk it is based on. You can copy the
template's disk(s) to another storage domain if you want a VM disk to be
created there
Thanks,
Shantur
