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 can access the datastore and files workflows from Library > vCenter > Datastore and Files in the
Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
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.
Log all datastore files
Creates a log for every virtual machine configuration file and every virtual
machine file found in all datastores.
Log unused datastore
files
Searches the vCenter Server environment for unused files that are registered
on virtual machines and exports a log of the files in a text file.
Datacenter Folder Management Workflows
With datacenter folder management workflows, you can create, delete, or rename a datacenter folder.
You can access the datacenter folder management workflows from Library > vCenter > Folder management
> Datacenter folder in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Create datacenter folder
Creates a datacenter folder.
Delete datacenter folder
Deletes a datacenter folder and waits for the task to complete.
Rename datacenter
folder
Renames a datacenter folder and waits for the task to complete.
Host Folder Management Workflows
With host folder management workflows, you can create, delete, or rename a host folder.
You can access the host folder management workflows from Library > vCenter > Folder management > Host
folder in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Create host folder
Creates a host folder.
Delete host folder
Deletes a host folder and waits for the task to complete.
Rename host folder
Renames a host folder and waits for the task to complete.
