Virtual Disks

You can define additional virtual disks to allocate to the VM being provisioned.

The VGP defines one disk used for data storage. Information for that disk cannot be modified.

To add virtual disks for the VM being provisioned

1. Take one of the following actions:
   • To add a new disk, click Add new virtual disk.
   • To modify an existing disk, roll your cursor over the disk you want to modify and click Edit.
     A utility for defining a virtual disk appears. You cannot modify a virtual disk defined in a VGP.
     
2. Under Data Storage for Virtual Disk, select a datastore or datastore cluster where the virtual disk can be allocated.
   If necessary, you can click on the drop-down list and then search for the appropriate datastore or datastore cluster. 
3. For Disk Size, enter the size of the virtual disk you are adding.
4. For Use Thin Disk, select:
   
   • Yes—Indicates physical space is not preallocated. Instead, physical space is allocated when necessary.
   • No—Indicates physical space is allocated for the virtual disk you are adding.
5. Click .
