StorageProfile [SPFSDK][VMROLE]

 

Applies To: Windows Azure Pack

The StorageProfile object of a resource definition describes the operating system and data virtual hard disks (VHDs) that are used to provision the virtual machine. When a virtual machine is imaged, a copy of the source VHD is copied to the virtual machine host.

One simple subobject type is included in this topic, which is described in the VirtualHardDiskIdentifier section.

Syntax

{
    "OSVirtualHardDiskImage" : "OSVHDImage:1.0.0.0",
    "DataVirtualHardDisks" : [
        {
            "DataVirtualHardDiskImage" : "DataVHDName:1.0.0.0",

Properties

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Description
OSVirtualHardDiskImage	String	Yes	None	The operating system VHD image identifier to be used to provision virtual machine instances. The format of the identifier is <image name>:<version> where the version format is: <major>.<minor>.<build>.<release>. For example, MyVirtualHD:6.33.2.10.
DataVirtualHardDisks	Array of VirtualHardDiskIdentifier	Yes	None	The data VHDs to attach to the virtual machine instances.

VirtualHardDiskIdentifier

Identifies a VHD and the logical unit number (LUN) to attach it to for a virtual machine instance.

Name	Type	Required	Default value	Description
DataVirtualHardDiskImage	Int	Yes	None	A VHD image identifier. The format of the identifier is <image name>:<version> where the version format is: <major>.<minor>.<build>.<release>. For example, MyVirtualHD:6.33.2.10
Lun	Int	Yes	None	The logical unit number (LUN) to attach the hard drive to.

Remarks

The following code example provides a sample StorageProfile object.

{
    "OSVirtualHardDiskImage" : "OSVHDImage:1.0.0.0",
    "DataVirtualHardDisks" : [
        {
            "DataVirtualHardDiskImage" : "DataVHDImage:1.0.0.0",
            "Lun" : 0
        },
    ]
}
