Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.5.1, if you want to merge two storage policies or to reassign storage entities in bulk before removing a storage policy, you can migrate one or more storage policy entities from one policy to another.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that your organization has the Migrate Storage right.
    Publishing the Migrate Storage right requires the following steps.
    1. The service provider must add the Migrate Storage right to the default rights bundle for your organization.
    2. The service provider must republish the rights bundle to the organization.
    3. You must log out and log in as an organization administrator or a role with equivalent set of rights.

  • Verify that you are logged in as an organization administrator or a role with equivalent set of rights.

  • Verify that there are at least two storage policies in the organization VDC.

Procedure

  1. On the Virtual Data Center dashboard screen, click the card of the virtual data center you want to explore.
  2. In the left panel, under Storage, select Storage Policies.
  3. Click the radio button next to the name of the target storage policy, and click Migrate Storage.
  4. Select the type of entities that you want to migrate.
    You can select to migrate named disks, catalog media, and virtual machines (VMs).
  5. Select the storage policy to which you want to migrate the entities to.
  6. Click Migrate.

Results

The assigned storage policy of the entities you selected changes to the target storage policy.
