Info

This section describes how to manage datastore tiers to offer storage service levels in private cloud datacenters. To create combine storage service levels across the cloud to set cloud storage limits for tenants, use abstract datastore tiers.
For details of how to recommend or enforce the use of create policy with datastore tiers, see Manage datastore storage policies

Create datastore tiers

To create a datastore tier:

...

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:

  1. To modify enterprise access for all enterprises,

  2. Go to Infrastructure → Private

  3. Select a datacenter and go to Datastore tiers

  4. Create or edit datastore tier and go to Enterprise access

  5. Select Allow all enterprises or Restrict all enterprises

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

Set access to a datastore tier

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

  1. To modify enterprise access for all enterprises,

  2. Go to Infrastructure → Private

  3. Select a datacenter and go to Datastore tiers

  4. Create or edit datastore tier and go to Enterprise access

  5. Click Cancel or select Do not change enterprise access

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

  2. Select a datacenter and go to Datastore tiers 

  3. Select a datastore tier

  4. In the Datastores pane on the right, click the + add button

    Add multiple datastores to a tierImage Removed Add multiple datastores to a tierImage Added

  5. From the popup list, select the datastores to add

    Select datastores to add to a tierImage Removed Select datastores to add to a tierImage Added

  6. 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
