In private cloud, use datastore tiers to group hypervisor datastores and price them according to service levels.

  • When you use tiers, administrators or cloud users can choose the service level for VM hard disks at the level of VM templates, virtual datacenters, and VMs. 

  • When you perform VM or storage moves outside of Abiquo, the platform will synchronize disks to their new datastore tiers.

  • If you do not enable datastore tiers feature, all datastore disks will be created in the "Default Tier".

You can add datastores to a tier when you add a hypervisor to the platform, or from the Datastore tiers tab.

  • You can only add datastores to datastore tiers if they do not have any managed VM disks on them or if none of the disks are in a tier.
