- Networks - Clients can add or modify Virtual NICs (Network Interface Controller or Network Card). The NICs can be connected to vApp networks that bridge the VM to an org network. Each NIC will show the type, IP address, allocation type (Manual, Pool or DHCP), network IP, and a flag to indicate if this is the primary NIC. You can add 3 different allocation types:
- DHCP – IP is determined by a DHCP server
- Pool – The NIC is given the next available IP in the IP pool (as defined in the org network)
- Manual – The client can enter a valid IP
- Disks - Virtual disks store all the VM’s guest OS data. VMs can have multiple disks provided they are within the limits of the Org vDC storage policy. Each disk shows the index number (order of disks where 0 is the primary disk), total disk storage, and the storage policy being used.
- Snapshots - Snapshots allow the client to take a copy of the current state of the VM, and back it up in case of a fatal error or requirement to revert to a previous version. Snapshots are stored using the storage policy. Once a snapshot is taken, the client can revert to that state at any time. The user can name the snapshot and give a brief description or reason for taking the snapshot, then click “Submit” to create the snapshot.
NOTE: Due to vCloud Director restrictions, a VM CANNOT be modified if there is a snapshot and you can only take 1 snapshot per VM. If the client wants to modify the VM, they will first need to delete the snapshot.
