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: To modify enterprise access for all enterprises: To modify enterprise access for
ALL all enterprises, Go to Infrastructure → Private
→ select Datacenter → Datastore tiers → create Select a datacenter and go to Datastore tiers Create or edit datastore tier
→ and go to Enterprise access Select Allow all enterprises or Restrict all enterprises

You can control access to datastore service levels with datastore tiers. To allow or prohibit access to a datastore tier for an individual enterprise Go to Users → edit enterprise → Datacenters → edit allowed datacenter → andedit an enterprise Go to Datacenters and edit an allowed datacenter Go to Datastore tiers Drag datastore tiers to the Allowed or Prohibited lists for this enterprise Click Accept to save the Enterprise datacenter resources

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

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 |
