Attaching storage to a VM in the legacy console

After you request a storage service, you specify the virtual machine (VM) to which to attach the storage.

Note

You can attach storage to only one VM.

To attach file system or block device storage to a VM

  1. From the list of services in the Services link bar of My Cloud Services console, highlight the service that contains the server to which you want to attach the storage.
  2. In the details pane below the list of service instances, right-click the server to which you want to attach storage and select Storage > Attach.
  3. In the Attach Storage dialog, select the storage instance that you want to attach, enter your domain (Active Directory) user name and password, enter the UNIX mount path or Microsoft Windows drive letter that you want to use, and click Attach.

Note

BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management uses the netuse command to map the common internet file system (CIFS) share as a network drive. This mapping is specific to your user session. Consequently, after the attach storage action, the CIFS mount can be unavailable to a user logging on from another session.

If you do not see the mapped network drive after the attach storage action, you must map the drive manually, as follows:

  1. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Map Network Drive.
  2. In Folder, enter the IP address and storage path shown in the error message.
  3. Click Finish.
