Hello,
The vRA version i'm using is 7.0 and i'm facing some kind of a limitation.
I'm trying to allow user to choose which reservation to use as i'm having 3 reservations (Prod/PreProd/Dev). I've tried to use custom properties to override VirtualMachine.Admin.ClusterName but it seems like vRA is not getting the value inserted by the user from a dropdown list.
From the VMware documentation there is no informations about this.
I was wondering if there is any way to let the user choose which reservationPolicy or which cluster where to provision the machine while he is requesting an Item.
Any ideas?
I would give the datacenter location feature a try. Check out the links below for the documentation. Manipulating reservation policies should work as well but will probably be more work to implement.
Hello,
Thanks for both of you. The two solutions worked fine. The second solution is good but the property __reservationPolicyID is not supported by vmware and is hidden.
I've already tried to use it directly but it doesn't work. As suggested by your solution there is a need to put it in Properties Group to force vRA to accept it.
Many thanks for both of you again.
That's for vmdk placement based on policy association with datastores at a compute resource level.
Come in handy if you have (for example) replicated and non-replicated, or some other functional difference at a storage layer that you want to expose to users at request time.
