Updating VM Datastores

When required, VMware Data Services Manager allows you to update VM Datastores, that is, add or remove VM Datastores and change the default VM Datastore that is attached to the onboarded Agent.

Note: While updating VM Datastores, in-flight database operations use the existing VM Datastores configured. After the process of updating VM Datastores is completed, subsequent database operations use the newly configured VM Datastores.

These procedures are typically performed by an Organization Administrator or Provider Administrator.

Procedure to Update VM Datastores

   The Environment view table displays the currently onboarded environments.

   The environment information in the Details tab displays.

   The Environment Edit dialog box displays.
