Snow Commander uses VMware customization specifications to modify source images during deployment. If customization specs exist in vCenter but are not selectable in Commander, the issue is likely permission-related.
-
In Commander, locate the vCenter account:
- Right-click the vCenter cloud account.
- Select Edit Cloud Account and note the Username used for this connection. Click Cancel to close.
-
Log in to vCenter using this account via the vSphere client.
-
From the Home page in vSphere, navigate to Customization Specifications Manager.
-
If the account does not have sufficient privileges, you will see an error similar to:
The server fault ‘NoPermission’ had no message. You do not hold privilege “Virtual machine > Provisioning > Read customization specifications” on folder “Datacenters”.
The ability to view customization specs requires the Read customization specifications permission under Virtual machine > Provisioning.
Outcome
After assigning the correct permissions, Commander will display available customization specs for selection when configuring components.
