Adding additional system disks during provisioning

You can create deployment requestable offerings (DROs) that include additional system disks when a service offering instance is provisioned. To set up this type of offering, you must create a new storage option in the service catalog, create option choices for the storage option, and associate the storage option with a service offering. For more information about working with the Service Catalog, see Creating-cloud-services.
