Reconfigure resource
pool
Reconfigures CPU and memory allocation configuration for a given resource
pool.
Rename resource pool
Renames a resource pool and waits for the task to complete.
Storage Workflows
With storage workflows you can perform storage-related operations.
You access the storage workflows from Library > vCenter > Storage.
Add datastore on
iSCSI/FC/local SCSI
Creates a datastore on a Fibre Channel, iSCSI or local SCSI disk. Only disks that
are not currently in use by an existing VMFS are applicable to new datastore
creation. The new datastore allocates the maximum available space of the
specified disk.
Add datastore on NFS
Adds a datastore on an NFS server.
Add iSCSI target
Adds iSCSI send and static targets to a vCenter Server host.
Create VMFS for all
available disks
Creates a VMFS volume for all available disks of a specified host.
Delete datastore
Deletes datastores from a vCenter Server host.
Delete iSCSI target
Deletes an already configured iSCSI send and static target.
Disable iSCSI adapter
Disables the software iSCSI adapter of a specified host.
Display all datastores
and disks
Displays the existing datastores and available disks on a specified host.
Enable iSCSI adapter
Enables an iSCSI adapter.
List all storage adapters
Lists all storage adapters of a specified host.
Storage DRS Workflows
With storage DRS workflows you perform storage-related operations, such as creating and configuring a
datastore cluster, removing a datastore from cluster, adding storage to a cluster, and so on.
You access the storage DRS workflows from Library > vCenter > Storage > Storage DRS.
Add datastore to cluster
Adds datastores to a datastore cluster. Datastores must be able to connect to
all hosts to be included in the datastore cluster. Datastores must have the same
connection type to reside within a datastore cluster.
Change Storage DRS per
virtual machine
configuration
Sets Storage DRS settings for each virtual machine.
Configure datastore
cluster
Configures datastore cluster setting values for automation and runtime rules.
Create simple datastore
cluster
Creates a simple datastore cluster with default configuration. The new
datastore cluster contains no datastores.
Create Storage DRS
scheduled task
Creates a scheduled task for reconfiguring a datastore cluster. Only automation
and runtime rules can be set.
Create virtual machine
anti-affinity rule
Creates an anti-affinity rule to indicate that all virtual disks of certain virtual
machines must be kept on different datastores.
