Using variables in VCENTER_VM_FOLDER in VM Template

[uushaggy (dave maphis)]

I am looking to add the $GNAME variable to the VCENTER_VM_FOLDER like this:

VCENTER_VM_FOLDER = “/Infrastructure/OneCloud/$GNAME”

It ends up assigning it literally as above and not substituting the the variable $GNAME.

There was a similar post here, but its older not quite the same:

vCenter - New VM folder

This is not what i’m looking for, I would like to define 1 template that will be availabe for any user and then they will instantiate VMs. The point is to automatically (without user intervention) assign VCENTER_VM_FOLDER to the user name or user group.

The $GNAME variable works in SET_HOSTNAME so there is an assignment.

Thanks for any help!

Found that the slash in the beginning is wrong, but the $GNAME still remain literal and no value gets substituted.
