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 can access the storage DRS workflows from Library > vCenter > Storage > Storage DRS in the
Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
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.
Create VMDK anti-
affinity rule
Creates a VMDK anti-affinity rule for a virtual machine that indicates which
of its virtual disks must be kept on different datastores. The rule applies to the
virtual disks of the selected virtual machine.
Remove datastore
cluster
Removes a datastore cluster. Removing a datastore cluster also removes all of
the settings and the alarms for the cluster from the vCenter Server system.
Remove datastore from
cluster
Removes a datastore from a datastore cluster and puts the datastore in a
datastore folder.
Remove Storage DRS
scheduled task
Removes a scheduled Storage DRS task.
Remove virtual machine
anti-affinity rule
Removes a virtual machine anti-affinity rule for a given datastore cluster.
Remove VMDK anti-
affinity rule
Removes a VMDK anti-affinity rule for a given datastore cluster.
