Remove virtual
machines from DRS
group
Removes virutal machines from a cluster DRS group.
Rename cluster
Renames a cluster.
Custom Attributes Workflows
With custom attributes workflows, you can add custom attributes to virtual machines or get a custom attribute
for a virtual machine.
You access the custom attributes workflows from Library > vCenter > Custom Attributes.
Add custom attribute to
a virtual machine
Adds a custom attribute to a virtual machine.
Add custom attribute to
multiple virtual
machines
Adds a custom attribute to a selection of virtual machines.
Get custom attribute
Gets a custom attribute for a virtual machine in vCenter Server.
Datacenter Workflows
With datacenter workflows, you can create, delete, reload, rename, or rescan a datacenter.
You access the datacenter workflows from Library > vCenter > Datacenter.
Create datacenter
Creates a new datacenter in a datacenter folder.
Delete datacenter
Deletes a datacenter.
Reload datacenter
Forces vCenter Server to reload data from a datacenter.
Rename datacenter
Renames a datacenter and waits for the task to complete.
Rescan datacenter
HBAs
Scans the hosts in a datacenter and initiates a rescan on the host bus adapters
to discover new storage.
Datastore and Files Workflows
With datastore and files workflows, you can delete a list of files, find unused files in a datastore, and so on.
You access the datastore and files workflows from Library > vCenter > Datastore and Files.
Delete all files
Deletes a list of files.
Delete all unused
datastore files
Searches all datastores in the vCenter Server environment and deletes all
unused files.
Export unused datastore
files
Searches all datastores and creates an XML descriptor file that lists all unused
files.
Find unused files in
datastores
Searches the vCenter Server environment for all unused disks (*.vmdk), virtual
machines (*.vmx), and template (*.vmtx) files that are not associated with any
vCenter Server instances registered with Orchestrator.
Get all configuration,
template, and disk files
from virtual machines
Creates a list of all virtual machine descriptor files and a list of all virtual
machine disk files, for all datastores.
