Custom Options for Service plans

[Phone_Bic]

I am trying to create a catalog to provision the VM. I have created a service plan with customisation enabled for memory and CPU and added that to inputs. The generated configuration in the catalog expects the plan as follows

“Plan”:{
“id”: 1326
“Code”: “vm-1234”
},
“ServicePlanOptions”: {
“maxCores” : 4
“CoresPerSocket” : 1
“maxMemory” : 8589934592

I am inserting my customOptions here to replace the maxcores and maxMemory.
Here The value for memory is expected to be provided in bytes whereas I want the user to enter in GB
Is there any way to insert arithmetic operations in order to convert GB to bytes.

Hi,

you can try this <%=customOptions.memGb* 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>

Thanks

Also, life get’s easier if you update to the 6.1.X branch where we introduced form builder. There is a native disk and plan form field. Additionally, we have a Byte Size field that will do the arithmetic for you.

It’s important to note, if you need a value to be passed as an integer like the above example of @vsenthilkarasu you should add a toLong() on it so it’s evaluated properly like:

<%=customOptions.memGb.toLong() * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>

Thanks Senthilkarasu and cbunge for your inputs

The solution from cbunge worked.

Hi @cbunge , I created a catalog input option for Memory using as you said:

<%=customOptions.memGB.toLong() * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>

but when I click on the catalog after editing, it returns an error, How can I fix it? Thank you!

[cbunge]

You must wrap that entire string in quotes. The toLong() is going to convert the string to an integer on submission.

The JSON validation errors on non-string Morpheus variables until at least 6.2.1, where we removed the validation of JSON to allow more free form entry and creative ideas.

@cbunge

quotes

Hi @cbunge , I put it in both single and double quotes but it still gets the same result. My version is 6.1.2 Did I do it correctly, didn’t? Sorry if I don’t understand what you mentioned

[cbunge]

It appears you now have a % in your variable:

Thanks for your help
I edited it again and tried both but it returns the same Maybe I need to upgrade to 6.2.1 version.

‘<%=customOptions.memGB.toLong() * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>’

and "<%=customOptions.memGB.toLong() * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>"

Are you still getting a 500? That should be putting something in your logs. Though I just noticed you are doing an app so it’s yaml

[Cuong_Duong]

Yes I’m still getting the 500 error. I’m creating a catalog to create 2 VMs that refer to an existing blueprint, and the only input field I want to change is ‘maxMemory’ inside ‘ServicePlanOptions’. I try some of the formats but it’s returned 500. The only format that can be done is <%=customOptions.memGB%> without quotes or toLong().*1024*1024*1024 like this:

'maxMemory': <%=customOptions.memGB * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>
'maxMemory': <%=customOptions.memGB.toLong() * 1024 * 1024 * 1024%>
