Hi
I am after comments of vCD functionality.
I hoped that VM templates in the catalogs could all be placed in the one storage, lets say thin+silver storage (where silver is lower IOPs than Gold).
Then at deployment time, these could be used in whatever storage area you wanted, creating shadow copies.
Goal - one primary set of base template vms
base_thin deployed to thin-fast silver area created a linked clone
base_thin deployed to thin-fast gold area, creates a shadow vm template and a linked clone
base_thin deployed to a thick-fast area, creates a shadow copy of template and a linked clone
base_thin deployed to a thick-full-clone area, creates a full thick clone in this area
(where fast means linled clone storage)
Some of my testing suggests this might not be the case so i am after the rules / comments ?
One if vmware failings is its documentation, the admin and user manuals are just textual without any diagrams, examples or context.
This makes understabding the system difficult.
Thanks in advance
