Manage datastore service levels with datastore tiers

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

Open

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

   Open

   

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

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

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

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

5. Click Add

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