  • 1.  bootDiskCapacityInGB

    Posted Apr 01, 2025 05:20 PM

    I want to edit the OS Disk size during server provisioning. I am using bootDiskCapacityInGB and passing input using: ${input.bootdisk_size}. The deployment is failing with error: Provisioning operation failed. Error from vCenter: Invalid operation for device '1'. and in vCenter i can see error: Invalid operation for device '1'. Disks with parents cannot be expanded for the new provisioned VM.

    VRA version is 8.11.2.

    Can we use bootDiskCapacityInGB, if we can, what i have to do for increase boot disk size during provisioning. 

    Regards,

    @vikramxperia02,

    From the error that you are hitting, looks like you are trying to resize a virtual disk that has active snapshots or is linked to a template that has snapshots or a parent disk chain.

    The bootDiskCapacityInGB property is the correct way to specify the boot disk size. The problem isn't with the property itself, but with the state of your source VM or template.
