Configure Storage

Manage storage groups by configuring the storage to make it attachable or non-attachable.

The list of storage locations and their status is displayed on the Managed Storage Locations page.

When you mark a storage as Not Attachable, the App Volumes Manager ignores the storage while mounting volumes.

For example, if you have set up two vCenter Server instances. Each instance can have a local storage and shared storage capability. You can mark the slower-performing storage as Not Attachable. A storage thus marked is ignored by the manager while mounting volumes and the storage can be used solely for replication of AppStacks.

Procedure

1. Click INFRASTRUCTURE > Storages to see the list of storage locations that are visible to the App Volumes Manager.
2. Click the storage whose status you want to change.
   The Attachable and Status columns of the selected storage provide the relevant information.
3. Click Make as Attachable or Make as Not Attachable depending on the existing status of the storage.
4. Confirm the operation.

Results

The updated status is seen on the Managed Storage Locations page.
