</span><br></div><div>My plan once I go into production, is to create a datastore for a customer. Then that customer will be able to use as much space as is provisioned for that datastore. E.g., I have a customer "Bills Super VMs", I'd create a 500GB datastore for "Bills Super VMs", then he can create as many VMs up to that 500GB limit.<br>
<br></div><div>Also, I am unable to create disk images on anything but the default datastore when creating "volatile" disk images through the VM Template interface in Sunstone. Even when attempting to create a template as an unprivileged user, specifically, a user that has been denied access to the default datastore, the volitile disk is still created in the default datastore.<br>
<br></div><div>How do I get images to clone into the correct datastore instead of the default datastore all the time?<br><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>Jon A<br></div></div></div>
