Feature request

Post by gratwick50 »

Hi there,

My feature request relates to the Replication Jobs and comes in two parts.
1) When setting up a replcation job could it be possible to setup a prefix to the replcated VM rather than a suffix? This would make the view into the infrastructure client much better as you could ZZname all your VMs to keep them out the way at the bottom.
2) Could it also be possible when setting up a replication job to NOT have any VMs added to the VIC list? I'm frightened that somebody will turn a replica on by mistake instead of the actual server.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Have you considered using separate security roles within vCenter Server? In this case no one would be able even to register replicated VMs.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

Hmm fair point. I'll look into that to see if it suits our needs.
Thanks

I'll second the option to allow a prefix as well as a suffix. Would make the console look much nicer for those of us that prefix certain VMs.

Us too. Small feature that can really clean things up, and more somewhat more useful than a suffix in my mind.
