To resolve this issue, admin can configure to create writables and apps in second or later clusters datastores by copying Writables templates/app templates to second or later cluster datastores.
- Upload prepackaged volumes to Cluster-1 vSAN datastore by following below steps :
- From the App Volumes Manager, click CONFIGURATION > Storage. ( Storage location of first cluster in VMC vCenter is WorkloadDatastore as of current date VMC release).
- Choose a WorkloadDatastore as storage location from the drop-down list.
- Choose a Use vCenter from Host drop-down list.
- Select the volumes to be uploaded from check box listed under Volumes section.
- Click on Upload.
- Once upload is successful.
- Login to VMC created vCenter that has been configured in AppVolumes manager.
- Browse to Menu>Storage.
- Click on WorkloadDatastore from left side pane.
- Click on Files tab on right side pane.
- Select cloudvolumes folder and browse to writable_template.
- Select template vmdk file under folder and click on Copyto option.
- Select vSAN datastore where you want to upload templates and browse to path cloudvolumes->writable_template and click on Ok (Create folders if it does not exist in destination datastore).
- Repeat same for app_templates.
This would list newly added templates while creating app\writables if second or later cluster vSAN datatore is selected from AppVolumes manager during writables creation wizard or app provisioning wizard.
