Create a VM hard disk

In private cloud datacenters, you can create secondary hard disks that are not persistent. This means that when you undeploy the VM or remove the hard disk the platform will delete your hard disks and destroy all data on them.

Administrators can control the display of the Hard Disk Tab in Configuration View#General tab
The administrator can force the use of the same controller type and controller as for the primary template disk using the appropriate Abiquo Configuration property.

Privilege: Edit virtual appliance details, Manage virtual storage elements, Manage virtual machine hard disks, Manage allocation when attaching a disk, Manage virtual storage controller.

To save data before you undeploy, create a backup, or create an Abiquo instance template, or copy data to a persistent volume. See Manage VMs#SaveVMdiskstocreateaninstancetemplate and Manage Persistent Storage and VMs

To add a VM hard disk:

Go to Virtual datacenters → edit VM → Storage
Click the add button at the top right of the tab
Select Assign virtual disk and complete the dialog
Click Save to create the disk, then finish editing the VM, then click Save
