With the storage DRS workflows, you perform storage-related operations. These include creating and configuring a datastore cluster, removing a datastore from a cluster, adding storage to a cluster, and others.
- Add datastore to cluster
- Adds datastores to a datastore cluster. Datastores must be able to connect to all hosts to be included in the datastore cluster. Datastores must have the same connection type to reside within a datastore cluster.
- Change Storage DRS per virtual machine configuration
- Sets Storage DRS settings for each virtual machine.
- Configure datastore cluster
- Configures datastore cluster setting values for automation and runtime rules.
- Create simple datastore cluster
- Creates a simple datastore cluster with default configuration. The new datastore cluster contains no datastores.
- Create Storage DRS scheduled task
- Creates a scheduled task for reconfiguring a datastore cluster. Only automation and runtime rules can be set.
- Create virtual machine anti-affinity rule
- Creates an anti-affinity rule to indicate that all virtual disks of certain virtual machines must be kept on different datastores.
- Create VMDK anti-affinity rule
- Creates a VMDK anti-affinity rule for a virtual machine that indicates which of its virtual disks must be kept on different datastores. The rule applies to the virtual disks of the selected virtual machine.
- Remove datastore cluster
- Removes a datastore cluster. Removing a datastore cluster also removes all the settings and the alarms for the cluster from the vCenter Server system.
- Remove datastore from cluster
- Removes a datastore from a datastore cluster and puts the datastore in a datastore folder.
- Remove Storage DRS scheduled task
- Removes a scheduled Storage DRS task.
- Remove virtual machine anti-affinity rule
- Removes a virtual machine anti-affinity rule for a given datastore cluster.
- Remove VMDK anti-affinity rule
- Removes a VMDK anti-affinity rule for a given datastore cluster.
