Configure a VM with additional hard disk

Storage

In private cloud, you can create additional 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. To save the contents of a hard disk, create an instance template, which is a copy of the VM hard disk/s in the template library.

To add a hard disk:

1. At the top-right of the Storage tab, click the + add button

2. Select Assign virtual disk

3. In the dialog the options will depend on the platform configuration

   1. You must enter the Size and the Controller type

   2. Advanced options: to force the creation of a new SCSI Controller, assign a new Bus value. The platform will return the bus value assigned by the provider
   3. Optionally select the Datastore tier with the appropriate storage service level
   4. Click Save
