Softlayer allows options on a per disk basis for local or non-local storage in a Virtual Guest. We are unable to choose which disks are local or non-local (SAN) when provisioning through Terraform. We need the option of having some disks persist if a Virtual Guest is migrated to another host (non-local disk) but other disks must be local for performance reasons and we can afford to lose the data on that disk. Thus selection on a disk by disk basis is a useful feature supported by the Web UI but not SoftLayer's Terraform provider.
