5.1 Configuring the Create VM form

Building the Create VM form is similar to building all other Viewpoint forms, all sharing the common requirement of modification to the <pages>, <components>, and <queue> elements.

To configure the create VM Form

Open the nodes.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory. Locate the <create-vm> element.
Locate the <request> element.
Inside the <requirement> element, set any of the following child elements corresponding with the Moab mvmctl command (for more information about the mvmctl command, see the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide):

<disk>
<hv-id>
<ram>
<os>
<cpu>

Specify a name for the variable with the <name> child element.
Specify the variable's value with the <value> child element. The value can be any....

<variables>
  <variable>
    <name>FOO</name>
    <value>
      <component id="fooVar" />
    </value>
  </variable>
  <variable>
    <name>BAR</name>
    <value>
      <component id="barVar" />
    </value>
  </variable>
</variables>

<storage>
- Specify a location with the <location> child element.
- Specify the variable's size with the <size> child element.
- Specify the variable's type with the <type> child element.
- Specify the variable's mount options with the <mount-options> child element.
```
<storage>
  <location><component id="location" /></location>
  <size><component id="size" /></size>
  <type>nfs</type>
  <mount-options><component id="options" /></mount-options>
</storage>
```
