Virtual Server Management module root-level workflows

 This section describes the following Virtual Server Management module root-level workflows:

 Add Disk Space workflow

This workflow creates a new virtual disk for the specified VM, as long as that VM is powered off. If the specified VM is powered up, the workflow does not execute.

This workflow supports dynamic targeting.
