Pivotal Cloud Foundry® vSphere Virtual Templates

Products

• Operations Manager

Environment

Product Version: 1.6

Resolution

There are many virtual machines (VM) templates that are created in the vSphere for each datastore, i.e. sc-<GUID> / datastore-<ID>. These templates are uploaded multiple times.

 

BOSH cpi ^[1] copies the stemcells ^[2] for datastore locality reasons. In other words, the stemcells are then located closer to where the VMs will reside when cloning them.
