Create Table of Virtual Machines Names to choose from for Deployment

Instead of being able to enter in the Virtual Machine Name at deployment time I would like to have a list of names to choose from instead. The list would have been created and entered in earlier by the Admin and would associate an IP address with each name. When the Virtual Machine Name is chosen it would populate the IP address using the entry from the table.

    Thank you for the suggestion and usage of PowerVC - we really appreciate your feedback. One of the key design tenets of the self-service portal is that users can provision their own resources and give their VMs names that are useful to them; that is, pre-defining the set of VMs names from which users can select ahead of time creates some challenges for this model. That said, it sounds like you might be wrapping the service somehow, in which case we could discuss some alternative approaches that might give you similar functionality and also allow the self-service portal to follow its intended use cases; please email us at powervc@us.ibm.com to discuss further. Thanks again!
