Storage Reservation Policies
Fabric administrators create storage reservation policies to allow tenant administrators and business
group managers to assign the volumes of a virtual machine to different datastores for the vSphere,
KVM (RHEV), and SCVMM platform types.
Assigning the volumes of a virtual machine to different datastores allows tenant administrators and
business group managers to control and use storage space more effectively. For example, they might
deploy the operating system volume to a slower, less expensive datastore and the database volume to a
faster datastore.
Tenant administrators and business group managers can assign a single datastore or a storage
reservation policy that represents multiple datastores to a volume. When they assign a single datastore to
a volume, vRealize Automation uses that datastore at provisioning time, if possible. When they assign a
storage reservation policy to a volume, vRealize Automation uses one of its datastores at provisioning
time, if possible.
