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

Allow a tenant to use datastore tiers in a datacenter

Excerpt
nameAllow a tenant to use datastore tiers in a datacenter

You can control access to datastore service levels with datastore tiers. 

To allow or prohibit access to a datastore tier for an individual enterprise

  1. Go to Users → edit enterprise → Datacenters → edit allowed datacenter → Datastore tiers

  2. Drag datastore tiers to the Allowed or Prohibited lists for this enterprise

  3. Click Accept to save the Enterprise datacenter resources

Image Removed Allow an enterprise to use datastore tiersImage Added

You can also set limits for the tenant for the datastore tiers within each datacenter. See Configure an enterprise in a cloud location#Setallocationlimitsforatenantinadatacenterorregionlocation

Note

Troubleshooting

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

  • Changes in Infrastructure view to the Datastore tiers on the Enterprise access tab will override these settings

...

Excerpt
nameEdit a datastore tier and add multiple datastores

You can edit a datastore tier and select multiple hypervisor datastores to add them to this service level.

To add multiple datastores to a tier:

  1. Go to Infrastructure → Private → select datacenter → Datastore tiers 

  2. Select a datastore tier

  3. Click the + add button in the Datastores pane on the right

    Image Removed Add multiple datastores to a tierImage Added

  4. From the popup list, select the Datastores to add

    Image Removed Select datastores to add to a tierImage Added

  5. Click Add

Note

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
