vmware, windows server 2012

I have been asked to create 2 new vm windows server 2012 out of vm template which is on VMware 5.5

I have been given this info:


Server      CPU      Memory                  Disk 1 (OS)            Disk 2 (DATA)           Disk 3 (LOGS)
DC-1      4      64                           80GB                  2 TB                           100GB

but when I build a vm I see 2 hard disks, how can I create another hard disk while creating new VM

 any defined steps will help.

What is the question exactly?
Create 2 virtual machines from a template
Each virtual machine should have 2 hard disks?

Is that it?

In that case deploy deploy VM's from template, add new hard disk for each of those

yes create 2 separate vm's from template, each vm should have 3 hard disks but template has 2 hard disks only

The template will only create as many HDs as it was created with.

If you need another HD just go into the settings of the newly created VM and add an additional HD.

The template would have to be re-created from a machine that has 3 HDs.

You cannot add additional HDs during the template deployment part.

I created on a wrong datastore, how should I delete it and recreate again from vm template
