[jira] [Updated] (CLOUDSTACK-4757) [VMWare] Support OVA files with
multiple disks for templates and uploaded volumes
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4757?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Likitha Shetty updated CLOUDSTACK-4757:
---------------------------------------
Description:
Currently, Cloudstack only supports Template creation based on OVA files containing a single disk. If a user creates a template from a OVA file containing more than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, only the first disk is attached to the new instance and other disks are ignored.
Similarly with uploaded volumes, attaching an uploaded volume that contains multiple disks to a VM will result in only one VMDK to being attached to the VM.
This behavior needs to be improved in VMWare to support OVA files with multiple disks for both uploaded volumes and templates. i.e. If a user creates a template from a OVA file containing more than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, the first disk should be attached to the new instance as the ROOT disk and volumes should be created based on other VMDK disks in the OVA file and should be attached to the instance.
