Display all datastores
and disks
Displays the existing datastores and available disks on a specied host.
Enable iSCSI adapter
Enables an iSCSI adapter.
List all storage adapters
Lists all storage adapters of a specied host.
Storage DRS Workflows
With storage DRS workows you perform storage-related operations, such as creating and conguring a
datastore cluster, removing a datastore from cluster, adding storage to a cluster, and so on.
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 seings for each virtual machine.
Configure datastore
cluster
Congures datastore cluster seing values for automation and runtime rules.
Create simple datastore
cluster
Creates a simple datastore cluster with default conguration. The new
datastore cluster contains no datastores.
Create Storage DRS
scheduled task
Creates a scheduled task for reconguring a datastore cluster. Only
automation and runtime rules can be set.
Create virtual machine
anti-affinity rule
Creates an anti-anity rule to indicate that all virtual disks of certain virtual
machines must be kept on dierent datastores.
Create VMDK anti-
affinity rule
Creates a VMDK anti-anity rule for a virtual machine that indicates which
of its virtual disks must be kept on dierent 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 seings 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-anity rule for a given datastore cluster.
Remove VMDK anti-
affinity rule
Removes a VMDK anti-anity rule for a given datastore cluster.
