Excerpt
nameSet access to tier service levels for datastores

This section describes how to define access to datastore tiers.

When you create a datastore tier, by default the platform will allow access to the current enterprise only.

To allow access to different service levels you can set access for these levels:

  • all enterprises

  • enterprises in a datacenter

To modify enterprise access for ALL enterprises, Infrastructure → Private → select Datacenter → Datastore tiers → create or edit datastore tier → Enterprise access

Note
  • Changes here will override the settings defined for an individual enterprise

  • You cannot restrict the access of enterprises that have already created disks in the tier

To display a list of enterprises that currently have access to a datastore tier:

  1. Go to Infrastructure → Private → select Datacenter → Datastore tiers → edit datastore tier → Enterprise access

  2. Click Cancel or select Do not change enterprise access

Troubleshooting

  • Generally, you cannot add datastores with managed VMs deployed on them to a datastore tier

  • Exception: if a datastore with managed VMs deployed on it does not have a tier (e.g. as a result of datastore synchronization), you can assign it to a tier and the platform will automatically assign all disks to that tier

You can also add datastore tiers to services levels when you create or edit a hypervisor. See Compute in datacenters
