Storage groups can be used to automatically replicate application volumes and distribute Writable Volumes across multiple datastores. You can configure storage groups by using App Volumes Manager.
You can specify a group of datastores that contain the same application packages or AppStacks and by using the vCenter, App Volumes replicates the .vmdk files across the datastores for redundancy and scalability.
Some of the attributes for the group, such as template location and distribution strategy, only apply when using the group for distributing Writable Volumes. The distribution strategy setting controls how Writable Volumes are distributed across the group.
Note: AppStacks and
Writable Volumes (2.
x) can be created only by using
App Volumes Agent 2.
x and uploading the appropriate templates. Any information related to these volumes can be viewed only when the
VOLUMES (2.X) tab is visible in the
App Volumes Manager UI. If you have installed the latest version of
App Volumes Manager and want to explore
