Priyank Parihar updated CLOUDSTACK-9912:
Description:
Some recommendations (as suggested by [~bstoyanov]) that would make user
experience better:
Until now we've identified in order the Resize Root Disk to work we need both
"vmware.create.full.clone" and "vmware.root.disk.controller" to be enabled.
1) When adding instance as a user on the "Select a template" step, the field
"Root disk size (GB)" is available.
If the global settings are not available and user goes and add a custom value
in that field, he'll get a non-meaningful message, that would require a
CloudStack admin to look into the logs and debug.
Two standalone checks implementation is suggested:
* Check if vmware.create.full.clone is true
* Check if vmware.root.disk.controller is true
Gray-out the field ( or remove it) so the user can't add value.
2) Resizing a running instance
In the same fashion we could do the same check when the vm is already running.
