The following is a high-level overview of the sequence of steps required to decommission a storage path:
1 A fabric administrator disables the storage path on all reservations that use it. See Disable a Storage
Path.
2 Move the machines to a new storage path outside of vRealize Automation.
3 Wait for vRealize Automation to automatically run inventory data collection or initiate inventory data
collection manually. See Configure Compute Resource Data Collection.
Disable a Storage Path
Fabric administrators can disable storage paths on reservations when storage paths are
decommissioned.
Note For each reservation where you disable a storage path, verify that there is sufficient space
remaining on other enabled storage paths.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Reservations > Reservations.
2 Point to the reservation on which the storage path you are decommissioning is used and click Edit.
3 Click the Resouces tab.
4 Locate the storage path you are decommissioning.
5
Click the Edit icon ( ).
6 Select the check box in the Disabled column to disable this storage path.
7
Click the Save icon (
).
8 Click OK.
9 Repeat this procedure for all reservations that use the storage path you are decommissioning.
Data Collection
vRealize Automation collects data from infrastructure source endpoints and their compute resources.
Data collection occurs at regular intervals. Each type of data collection has a default interval that you can
override or modify. Each type of data collection also has a default timeout interval that you can override or
modify.
IaaS administrators can manually initiate data collection for infrastructure source endpoints and fabric
administrators can manually initiate data collection for compute resources.
