Prism Central AHV proxy deployment picking cluster request

[rodrigobraga]

I would like to request a feature request based on what I am experiencing. Instead of configuring VBR to Nutanix Prism Element we setup to Prism Central. By doing this, during the new Nutanix AHV Backup appliance setup it creates a vmdk image to Prism Central repository pointing to a random cluster. From there it creates a policy to sync (transfer his image to all remaining clusters within my prism central). The problem here is the following:

1. It does not let me pick what cluster to do the initial upload. In my case it uploaded to the smallest site, Las Vegas (rather than the data center) and created a policy to replicate from there.
2. It does not let me decide which clusters I want the disk image replicated. Not all clusters may have backups nor need AHV workers.

If we can have this feature available that would help us a lot since it has been over 1 hour, and I have not finished uploading the initial image. We had to modify appsettings to accommodate the timeout a couple of times now.

@rodrigobraga We opted for maximum simplicity over maximum configurability for the first iteration of our Prism Central integration and do already have some image transfer mitigation in our current roadmap. Your request is duly noted however and makes good sense. We'll discuss internally.
