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 can access the storage workflows from Library > vCenter > Storage in the Workflows view of the
Orchestrator client.
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 targets to a vCenter Server host. The targets can be of the type
Send or Static.
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 already configured iSCSI targets. The targets can be of type Send or
Static.
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 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.
