Datastore allocation

Using the Performance allocation policy for datastores, the allocation module will deploy to the datastore with the most free space as recorded in the Abiquo database. This rule applies to all datastores, including shared datastores used by Abiquo High Availability and datastores in tiers with the performance policy selected.

In contrast, using the Progressive allocation policy for datastores the allocation module uses the datastore with the least available space.

You can set Allocation rules for datastores to configure the percentage of each datastore that will be available for the platform to use. See Allocation rules#Storageloadlevelrules
