How-to add a virtual disk to VM using vss-cli

(Optional) Depending on a setup/installation, we might want to activate a specific virtual environment:

. ~/venvs/vsscliENV4/bin/activate

Search for VM uuid by name:

(vsscliENV)$ vss-cli compute vm ls -f name casx2 uuid name ------------------------------------ ------------------ <uuid> 1306P-arborexcasx2

Get the current disks:

$ vss-cli compute vm get <uuid-or-vmname> Uuid : <uuid> Label : Hard disk 1 Capacity Gb : 300 Label : Hard disk 2 Capacity Gb : 3

Add 10GB disk

$ vss compute vm set <name-or-vm-id> disk mk --capacity 10

 

For more information, please refer to Manage Virtual Disks from the VSS CLI official documentation site.

 

Looking for labels? They can now be found in the details panel on the floating action bar.
